Silverbirch Firefly For Sale - now sold

Post by Baldrick_dogsbody »

Firefly 14 in DuraLite, black with blue internal hull, wooden gunwales.

Features: Sailing thwart and mast foot, a kneeling seat that can easily be swapped for a kneeling thwart (included, pictured), there's a solid foam mat under the seat for your knees (far superior to a separate kneeling mat!) and is fully whitewater laced. The hull is in good condition with no issues.

This is not a new boat, but it was outfitted by Black Snow Outfitters before they shut up shop, and he did some really good work on the internal set up, in particular the brass work on the inwales which allows for the seat and thwart to be swapped without damaging the gunwales when you bolt them in.

I'm selling it, despite the fact I love it, because I can only store it outside and that previously damaged the gunwales, particularly the outwales.

I've just this month had it back from a coachbuilder who has fully renovated the wood, including all new outwales, restored inwales, and new Mahogany end caps. I've also replaced the end lacing and given the wood an oil.

Comes with two Tribal Airbags, so is ready to go. (One is a bit less airtight than the other but both will last a trip.)

Because I'm a mug, who copied the detail from my Facebook post, I forgot to include a price of location!
I'm after £1,200. Ono

The boat is located in Bristol.
