The time hath come to part with Freya.

 

She is a 17ft x 4ft hull, timber and epoxy,with a 2 1/2 x 2 3/4 single cylinder condensing engine.Slow speed feed pump, Jabsco air pump.  Scotch crank donkey pump for aux. feed etc.

 Boiler is a 16" dry firebox vertical, built to AMBSC Code, working at 150 psi.

  It is a fast enthusiastic and efficient steamer, and the boat is a nice looking, graceful, lively performer with a good turn of speed. Great whistle too! 

Trailer is only fair, but has nice soft springs, and rides delightfully.

   This is a small, light boat, that is easily managed by one person, carries three effortlessly, four is OK in calm water.

Going price..$16,000

Probably the best way to contact me is email: bobmcleod45@yahoo.com.au.

Phone is (02) 66572681..early evening is best.

Also, I need to sell a magnificent compound engine, built in Sydney in 1900. It is 2 1/2" +3 1/2" x 3"..Overall, 18"x 10"x20".

 It is a superb bit of engineering and runs well..Came from an old fellow who worked at Mort's Dock in Balmain. It would suit a boat about 25ft length.

 This engine owes me $8000..
