Eileen was built in 1920 to a traditional West Country design by Curtis & Mitchell of Looe, Cornwall for the Toms of Looe  where she remained fishing with the same family until 1975. Eileen is a rare survivor from the days of sail when many similar vessels fished around our shores.

Elieen is best described as a project, with significant work required all round to bring her back to good condition.

Remarks:

Eileen was built in 1920 to a traditional West Country design by Curtis & Mitchell of Looe, Cornwall for the Toms of Looe where she remained fishing with the same family until 1975. Eileen is a rare survivor from the days of sail when many similar vessels fished around our shores.

Eileen is best described as a project, with significant work required all round to bring her back to good condition. The main engine looks to have been maintained with a relatively new heat exchanger so it is likely the engine will be useable in the future and may not need replacing immediately. The condition of the spars could not be ascertained but the sails seem to be in relatively good order, albeit left out in the elements. Most of the running rigging will need replacing and the whole rig will certainly need an overhaul before being passed safe for sea going use.

Eileen is being sold by Dart Harbour and Navigation Authority, due to non-payment of harbour dues. She does not come with a mooring and will need to be removed from the Dart following purchase. Any outstanding bills for storage ashore are separate from the asking price. All enquiries to harbourmaster@dartharbourorg
