£5250 !! 1979 Cabin. See below for history of the Memory 19.
At only £5250, this is an incredible and probably unrepeatable opportunity. A 1979 cabin Memory, she has a great deal of new equipment including essentials like new centreplate and pin, standing rigging, chain plates etc. Sails have all been replaced in the last few years. Price includes 4.5 Hp Tohatsu outboard in a professionally fitted outboard well. Replacement dates given on full detail description. Of course, she needs TLC, but what an opportunity……
History:
The Memory 19 is a gaff rigged sloop originally designed some 27 years ago by Tony Robinson RINA for himself and his family. He was inspired by the refined shapes and practicality of the small, shoal draft fishing smacks of Brightlingsea and so the Memory has the ability to dry out on a mooring, run up a beach or onto a trailer, making her ideal for today’s leisure sailor.
Since then over 130 Memorys have been built and are now well proven classics in their own right; safe, easily handled yet fast boats with numerous wins to their credit in Old Gaffers’ Association events. In the “open” Memory the accommodation is modest but practical with two full sized berths and some storage in a vee formation in the snug little cabin under the foredeck. The cockpit is large and deep. Cabin versions are also built, which allow for galley, loo etc. Without (usually) unduly compromising the cockpit size. The Memory has been fitted out in many different ways over the years; originally sold as a kit boat, the styles and standards of fitout vary considerably. The main question for the second hand buyer is “open” or “cabin”; thereafter it is a matter of personal choice and quality of build and condition. There are very few Memorys left that need total renovation. Prices usually vary from around £7,500 for a boat needing TLC to around £25,000 for a pre-owned Salterns’ built Memory.
