I have just purchased a composite Contender and as such have to sell another boat to make space. My OK 1745 is a Harry Millican design from approx 1980. It has beautifully varnished hull and decks and sails extremely well. Please see apollo duck for further information and for more photos see.. http...

Ive just purchaesed OK 1745 which is in fabulous condition, although is in need of some new control lines and adjustment to the kicker. Photos on the link below https://www.dropbox.com/sh/c2hky5497vnos87/kkj6NKo2dF The photos at the bottom are ones I found on the Irish OK Assoc. site so possibly fro...

Now sold...... Vagabond 61 is now also for sale...

With much deliberation I have decided to put Vagabond 61 up for sale. She will now not get much use as my better half is expecting! I have just purchased an OK no. 1745 to keep me afloat in the meantime. A beautiful 1970's build which has spent much of her youth in a barn so is extremely solid. Any ...

This boat is currently for sale. Please visit ebay for more details.

Great afternoon on the Thames even though not much wind. Poor vagabond is staying the night in a recovery compound on the m62!! 15 miles from home and yet another puncture, but this time the axle also snapped. Not good at 70mph!!! Luckily I keep buying boats from eBay so have a spare trailer so will...

Yes, I saw that. I have the original anchor for vagabond, just need a 20ft line.
The rudder is now secured, so I won't lose it this time !!

Should be a memorable day plus a great photo opportunity.

Btw. Just set up www.jackholtvagabond.co.uk so should gain more interest for future events.

Thanks for the offer roger but is a bit out of the way. Magda is definitely coming so we will look for b&b's near Putney.

See you there....

Thanks roger, just me for now but possibly Magda too.

Does anyone know of any local accommodation at reasonable rates? The wraysbury trip was knocking on 7 hours so it means a very early start on Sunday morning or late arrival on Saturday after I finish work, probably arrive in London at 11pm. I'll do my best to attend, Seems like a once in a lifetime ...

I just couldn't resist this one so had to buy it. All wood varnished with bright red sails It was advertised as a Mk IX but on further enquiries with the MR assoc it is possibly a Mk XII Proctor design, built in 1962 by Wych and Coppock in Nottingham. At that time she was named Snark 11 and was owne...

I've got the diagram that i used for no.61 with all measurements iif you need them. I'm sure I used Kevin butler as well. Good quality and fast turn around. Let me know if you need a copy.

Hi there rusty, There are plenty of sellers on eBay who will make them up for you. A full set for no.61 cost approx £30. Any info on your vagabond would be appreciated as I'm collating a register of all owners. So far I have contacted a total of 9 owners, 7 of whom are in the uk, 1 in Australia and ...

Is this vag still available, wouldn't mind doing another as 61 is now all done, would like to do another as they are lovely boats.
Regards
Nick

Had a great time, sporting a few facial scars from Luke's kicker on his merlin but great weekend all round. Thank you. Will be back next year. Shame vagabond only got a short sail on sat but good to meet lots of great people.
