Ohlson 38’s have an excellent reputation as blue water boats and many are still raced and cruised internationally.

Sails stored on board believed usable .

Some of the photos are historical- be aware!

Robertsons Golly was undergoing a refit and repair by a charity but this was abandoned due to Covid restrictions and personal circumstances.
I purchased her with the intention of completing the project and dreams of a lengthy retirement cruise. My circumstances have now changed and I can no longer give her the time required.

The good bits.
Her history obviously makes her interesting, with many complimentary comments while aboard.
Good head room throughout
Wood burning Stove
Quality Joinery
A fine blue water cruiser when completed
