Herreshoff America 18, 1980 sailboat for sale

  • $3,800 (Huntsville Alabama)
  • Displacement is about 2,500#
  • Length is 18', Beam is 8'

    More design specs can be seen here: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/herreshoff-america/

  • Delivery within a few hundred miles of Huntsville AL can be arranged for a fee.

    Here's the list of what she has:

  • The hull is in very good condition, as is the cabin -\
  • The engine is a 6Hp Tohatsu longshaft 2007. Last ran fine in 2019 just before I purchased the boat.
  • The trailer is in fair-to-good condition with new tires (less than 800 miles on them) and new hubs (zero miles-just installed).
  • I'm including a set of magnetic trailer lights because the hardwired lights are not working.
  • The sail is in good condition. I had been using it on the sister boat up until last year (see pic with two boats, the one on the left is for sale).
  • All hardware and rigging looks to be in very good working condition
  • The cushions are in very good condition -Gelcoat above and below the water line is in very good condition.
  • Just needs buffing & polishing -About 500 pounds of lead ingots for ballast -Rudder and tiller in good condition -No visible dings or bends in the mast, boom or gaff. Gaff jaw in good condition -All the teak is in very good condition. It is not varnished.
  • I was told in 2019 by the previous owner the swing keel had been replaced 2016. I have not looked at it.

    This is what I know needs some work:

  • The trailer needs a small metal plate welded over a rust hole.
  • It came all the way from Connecticut to Alabama in that conditions without issue.
  • It probably also needs new U-bolts to attach the axel to the springs and the springs to the trailer frame.
  • A fuel line from the tank to the motor
  • Permanent trailer lights
  • The cockpit floor is soft so could use attention. My intention was to use Inject-A-Deck
  • A squirrel took up residence in the cabin this winter and there's still a little deodorizing to be done, but nothing too bad. I removed all the debris from the winter squatter!
  • There is gelcoat crazing on the decks
  • Recommend replacing the halyards and sheets
