S/V ‘Teleport’ for sale
$39,950 USD, in Prince Rupert, Canada from August 2015 onwards.
After months of contemplation about what to do with Teleport next year we have made the very hard decision to put her up for sale! It's not an easy decision to make, we really have been 'living the dream' for the past 5 years being able to take months off work each year and sail her that little bit closer back to home. However, we dream of other adventures too, like kayaking around remote islands, cycling across counties or hiking through jungles, but every year all our spare time gets devoted to our little teleport (which we love dearly) but it's just time for us to move on and do other adventures as well as focus on our growing business for a bit! Down the track, we intend to find a slightly bigger junk-rigged sailboat to get (big enough for a family, perhaps?
Below are the details of the sale:
'Teleport' is one of only six North Atlantic 29's around. Designed by English offshore racing designer Angus Primrose and Blondie Hasler himself, this 29 foot junk-rig (perfect for cruising - see our website for the advantages of junk-rigs) was lovingly built by Jim Creighton, in Canada in 1988, and then rebuilt by Chris and Jess Bray in 2010, who then successfully sailed her up the coast of Greenland and through the Northwest Passage in 2011-12 (over the top of Canada and Alaska through the Arctic) through some major storms and down through the dreaded Bering Strait and Aleutians, down the coast of Alaska to Canada (2013-14), proving her worth as a strong, reliable, and safe go-anywhere cruising / expedition boat. Though only 29 feet long, she’s got minimal side-deck which means the volume inside down below is much larger than you’d expect. She also has a small-looking cockpit, but this is because the North Atlantic 29’s also have an awesome mid-cockpit – a separate, sealed semi-cabin from which you can operate the boat out of the weather (even with heater outlet). This mid-cockpit also doubles as a great ‘mud-room’ or area to strip off wet gear etc out of the weather but before having to wet everything down below. Though originally designed to sleep 6, we re-built her to comfortably sleep two (ok maybe 3), but instead kitted her out for extreme, high-latitude cruising – not only creature comforts like bookshelves, sound system and ducted, thermostat controlled, electric-start heating, but also in terms of brand new ropes, top-of-the-range navigational and safety gear, full AIS transceiver, oversized rocna anchor, custom made expedition dingy with hypalon tubes and 6hp Yamaha outboard motor (combined worth over $6,000 USD) etc. There can be few small boats so capable or so kitted out. Have a read of the huge list of included gear below! This really is a go anywhere, anytime, ideal couples cruising yacht, or equally suited to a solo sailor (particularly with it’s junk-rig).

As you’ll see, we’ve been 100% open and honest all the way through our journey in terms of not trying to hide any of the problems we’ve had or things we’ve had to fix on the boat. See our note on ‘overall condition of the boat’ below.

Overall condition of the boat:
• Mast: Lots of paint scratched off where the battens rub, and a few minor cracks and delamination of the fiberglass covering. All indications are that the wood is in good condition underneath.
• Deck & coach roof – In 2010 we applied a whole new layer of fiber glass to the deck & coach roof for extra strength and sealing. Minor signs of wear and tear are starting to appear with bits of paint flaking off, but all still good. Note that this extra fiberglass layer was not faired smooth on sheet edges etc, so if one looks closely, you can see where some sheets overlap etc.
• Keel: There was a delaminated region on the starboard side of the keel when we bought the boat in 2010. We had a fiberglass expert company work on this for us, and first they drilled several large holesaw holes through the fiberglass to allow the region to dry out / breath (it was wet behind), but it was evident that more work was needed so they then removed this section of the glass to inspect it, and found it was delaminated because of a slight casting pocket in the metal of the keel when it was cast, which had been filled and faired using some kind of filler, and the fiberglass hadn’t bonded well to that filler when covered. So the fiberglass expert scraped out all the filler, and replaced it was a polybond super strength epoxy, and re-attached and sealed the section of the fiberglass. All good. Over the following 5 years, when we pull Teleport out to store for the winter, slight rust stains weep through around the edges of the original holesaw breather holes. In 2014 we repaired a small crack in the fiberglass on the port side of the keel.
