"Atlantic Jack"
Woodvale Challenge Pairs
£23K or near offer



Built in 2007, "Jack" was the fastest womens' pairs boat across the Atlantic in 07/08. The hull is re-inforced with epoxy glassing giving 100% hull integrity..no leaks ! Exceptional electrics system, our batteries never dipped below 50% charge, even in 10days with no sun. At no time did we ever feel unsafe with "Jack". We had a safety rail installed above the gunwhale & found it utterly invaluable especially in rough weather, it saves you crawling along the deck on your hands & knees. However, it can also be removed if not required. The orange paintwork may not be your favourite colour, but it's VERY visible on the water, liferafts are orange for a good reason.

Sale includes: brand new DeGraaf trailer, only used 3 times. 5 x Xcell oars with rowing shaft ( more durable than thinner sculling shafts ) . 1 x 12ft & 1 x 9ft para-anchors, 2 x drogues, 1 x 50m line & other assorted ropes. Solas B liferaft in valise ( new in 2007 ) Grab bag & all contents to Solas B standard, including Katadyn 06 Survivor. All mandatory electrical equipment: Sea-Me, AIS receiver, fixed & handheld GPS ( Garmin ), fixed & waterproof handheld VHF. Waterproof Electrics system designed & fitted by Mark Humphries of Kilworth Marine Services: battery monitor/regulator & instrument panel can be totally submerged and will still work. Powered by 6 x Barden solar panels giving 162 peak Watts, to 2 x 80amp Sonnenschein batteries ( OK'd by Woodvale even though not 85amp ) Iridium sat phone, data kit & computer cables, charger is integral to internal electrics. External cabin mounted ariel gives perfect reception even when inside with cabin door shut. Other bits & pieces eg, several aquapacs, dry bags, anchor & chain/line, luxury quick drying matresses, Force 10 stove & endless advice if required !



Will need new rudder & transom brackets/attachments. Footplate steering currently in stern position. Can also be hand steered with rope from either position. Our Katadyn 40E watermaker was faulty, we are currently in negotiation with Katadyn for a replacement, so you may get a brand new watermaker thrown in.

conditon of sale: Of course I understand that if you are lucky enough to get a big sponsor, then of course you can change the name. All I ask is that if you don't get a tital sponsor, please consider keeping the name?

(note from the moderator)

I've deleted the arguments here and altered the original post to hopefully ameliorate Cath's intention reference the importance of the name.

Now play nice you lot or my whores are going to bitch slap you upside your heads.

due to some loss of kit, namely the liferaft

Atlantic Jack is now reduced to £19,700

will also consider offers

Even with the broken rudder, this was the fastest women's pairs boat across the Atlantic in 07/08, even beating another womens 4 and a men's pair.
