Jeff Smith is a committee member of the Victorian Romsey Men’s Shed. Recently, via the Woodend Men’s Shed, he was gifted a 3/4 complete John Welsford Penguin. The owner builder passed away and his family have no skill or interest in finishing this yacht, so alledegly were going to burn it on a bonfire during this coming winter. He has rescued this yacht and it now resides on his tandem car trailer under a tarpaulin. He is looking for a home for this lovely piece of craftmanship, FREE to a good home, with free delivery within reason.

The following photos illustrate the level of build. It comes with a complete set of laminated plans. It has been built from 100% new timbers, and has been stored dry so there is no rot anywhere.

Pelican was probably launched around 1966. She has not been used since last season, but she was fine when last used.

Comes with a beach trolley, sails, sheets, paddle, whisker pole.

Asking $200. That rudder blade alone is worth it! She has been a great little boat. She deserves a good home. Pelican is currently located in Ocean Grove.

Happy to pay a fair price for a small sail and spars. I am developing a 3.6 m sailing canoe and am looking for the gear to power it.

An older Opti rig looks like a good fit but will consider anything with about 3 sq metres of sail area. 

Any donations of old spars and fittings in any condition would be gratefully received because there is a bit of fiddling and experimentation required.

Please call Tony O’Neill on 0419524197
