Designed as a low-cost for single-handed sailing, the Scaffie has no centreplate, relying instead on water ballast and two deep bilge keels. A very capable sea boat, in the right hands, she is easily trailed, rigged and sailed by one or two people but equally at home with a couple of adults and small children. She can be rowed, motored and sailed with the absolute minimum of time spent faffing about with rigging etc! This example is AS NEW. These boat details are subject to contract.

I had a great time videoing and photographing this Macduff traditional Motor Sailor. It was fortunate that I was able to see the boat out of the water, then subsequently in the water at her mooring, from which the owner kindly brought her in to the landing pontoon followed by a sail past. Freshly painted and prepared for the coming season and the cold engine start ratified what the owner said about how reliable she was in starting. The owner tells me that she sails quite well with a gaff Rigg and has the advantage of having a furling head sail along with a hank on if desired. A rec... read more
