Register with Boatshed to see 55 extra photos of this Ranger Tugs R-21 EC Extended Cabin.This R-21 EC (Extended Cab) version has been set up for cruising, fishing and crabbing. It has the extended swim platform and electric davit crane to haul in crab pots or shrimp pots. As you approach the vessel it's easy to see why this model is so popular. The high railings and deep V-hull really give her a purposeful stance. On the bow rests a 12 lb Lewmar anchor. There is 30' of chain with another 120' of rode. For anchor retrieval, there is a T-H marine Anchor Master retriever. The dark red gelcoat shows a little oxidation in spots but overall she's very clean. All the decks are integrated non-skid, showing no apparent signs of chipping or heavy wear. The stainless steel railing and stanchions are bright, not showing excessive oxidation. Deck fixtures and cleats are solidly bedded and show little wear. I really have to mention the visibility from every position on this boat. Ventilation is amazing. All windows and port lights are clean and intact with no visible signs of water ingress. The portholes are opening and all have bug screens on them. There are 3 top opening Lewmar hatches that function as they should. All navigation lights and interior lights appear to be functioning as they should. Every component and control panel is easily reached including on the pilot house roof. Accommodations are cleverly laid out and make use of the space provided. The R-21 EC cabins are comfortable and provide great protection from the elements. The head looks unused and does have a holding tank with pump out line. The compact galley offers a handy basin and an efficient single burner stovetop. This Ranger tug is a perfect size for a couple just getting into the trawler/tug lifestyle, retirees that love to fish and cruise the coastlines of puget sound. It is easy to manage and does not take up space in the marina; making it a feasible option for storage. A great benefit of this model is versatility. At 21 feet and just 3100 lb dry weight, this vessel can be easily towed and launched. This particular R-21 does comes with a heavy duty aluminum EZ loader trailer.

Register with Boatshed to see 86 extra photos of this Maurice Griffiths Kylix Lifting Keel.A Rare Opportunity Maurice Griffiths Kylix Cutter (GRP) We are delighted to present a rare chance to acquire one of only two GRP-hulled Maurice Griffiths Kylix cutter-rigged sloops ever built and the only example currently available in the UK. Designed in 1970 as Griffiths own retirement yacht, the Kylix combines classic charm with practical handling. At age 70, Griffiths wanted a boat that an elderly single-hander could manage with ease, while drawing just 0.91 m with her lifting keel perfect for exploring shallow waters such as his home river, the Deben in Suffolk. Developed from Griffiths earlier 25-ft Cockler class and inspired by traditional cockle bawleys, the Kylix features round bilges, a fine run aft, raised topsides, and a transom stern. A signature detail is the loco cab, an open doghouse styled after a steam-train cabin a nod to Griffiths lifelong love of railways. Below decks, the interior is surprisingly spacious for her size, the saloon seats five comfortably, Settee berths convert into a double, storage is generous, and the overall layout has the feel of a proper little home afloat. This example is beautifully maintained and presented in lovely condition. With her handsome Tan sails, classic lines, and GRP construction, she offers the joy of a genuine classic yacht without the heavy maintenance burden of wood. This yacht is being sold with Cockpit cover, Boom tent, full winter cover, bespoke cradle and some new running rigging along with many spare parts and accessaries. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be acceptedThis Maurice Griffiths Kylix Lifting Keel has been personally photographed and viewed by Paul Lancashire of Boatshed Kent.
