For those looking to buy a Redwing, you will notice that the boats rarely, if ever arrive for sale in the usual places. However, if you are looking to get into the fleet, boats can always be ‘found’ and sold to prospective sailors, several of us hoard them to use, share or restore over time but would rather they were in use immediately.

Here we will put together a list of boats or parts that are actively for sale. If what you are looking for is not available, do get in touch with the association – we can be very resourceful. If you have something ‘Redwing’ for sale or wanted, contact us and we will endeavour to get it listed.

Hull is Kia planked and is in excellent condition. Varnish is in good condition and was done with epifanes single pack varnish. Underside finished with 1500 grit paper and rubbing compound. Inside is not the tidiest but is well protected. Ribs and lands have been epoxied – stiff and doesn’t leak. Some wear marks from ropes on the thwarts as usual but otherwise fully coated and protected. Doesn’t leak.
