60' Custom Ketch

by Lizane Heine
(British Virgin Islands)

"Tamoure" is a 60' Custom ketch built by Palomba in Italy in 1971.
Her beam is 14' and her draft 6'.

"Tamoure" is a project boat, due to unforeseen circumstances she has to be sold even though the project is incomplete.

This boat needs the right owner to finish the job.

Hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars have already been dedicated to the rebuild project between December 2010 and March 2012.

Her hull has been rebuilt using Epoxy carvel construction.

The frame, garbords and broads are oak and deadwood, and the hull pine.

It is fastened with hot dip galvinised 4 inch lagbolts, fiberglassed over with 10/24 Biax.
We used Epiglass Epoxy.

The new owner will have to:
The interior is temporary plywood and will need rebuilding. (though this gives the new owner the opportunity to design the interior the way he wants it)
The masts are stepped but the rig needs to be secured.
The bowsprit and boom is on board but needs to be fitted ( was removed for hurricane season)
The pilothouse needs some repairs and the pilothouse windows needs installation.
The hatches are temporary wooden ones and will need work.

Essentially the hull is rebuilt and the masts re-done.

The engine, transmission, batteries, charging, windlass, anchor and tackle, fridge and stove are all in good working order.

The boat is located in the British Virgin Islands.
