AWA ITI
Awa Iti is a 26’ Gladden motor sailer that has been in one extended family for the past 40 years, but now it is time to pass on to someone who has the energy to keep this lovely old boat going. Her trademe listing says she’s a comfortable stable & safe boat that is easy to sail and handle. She draws under 3 ft and with her bilge keel she can sit on the mud flats upright. Its a classic Gladden which means for its length there is lots of room for a family to enjoy the inner gulf.
This boat needs some TLC, but is currently sailable. Cabin top, varnish and hull painted and anti-foul done 2018.
Powered with a “WaterMota Sea Wolf” petrol motor (based on Ford Escort motor) with a heat exchange unit Waterline length 7.1m 23.3ft – Beam widest point 2.775m 9.1ft – Draft 863mm 2’10”. Currently moored at Northcote Point swing mooring.
Currently the bidding sits at c$2000 & the reserve has been met so Awa Iti could be a very good buy for someone entering the classic woody movement 🙂
Awa Iti was once owned by Terry Fortune who, along with ‘Robyn Gae’ went up the Warkworth River before the channel makers were installed. It was an interesting trip.
