A very popular and simple rowing skiff, Designed by the late Iain Oughtred, Hopelet was launched in 2026. She comes with a brand new Mersea Combi Trailer/Launch trolley making it super easy to launch her. I've also added a small gaff rig sail to her, so she can be both rowed and sailed. The lightweight mast and sail is unstayed and can easily be rigged making her a very versatile boat for adventures. She comes equipped with rudder, tiller, foot plates, cox seat, rowlocks and four 12ft oars. For sailing, she includes wooden mast, boom, gaff, mainsail. Currently sitting undercover in a barn in Devon. Early interest advised and will accept serious offers.
Note: I also have the build templates/kit from Jordan Boats if interested in building one which I'm happy to include.
