Is there like...an RSPCA? to rescue boats? This old dog should be preserved...
I would say there could be a few broken ribs on the starboard side forward. The hole would not be all that much of a problem for a shipwright experienced in carvel repairs. Not an expensive repair if you did the job yourself but ridiculously expensive if you had to pay an expert. Unfortunately there are a few projects about like this one waiting for the right person to come along.

Not sure that is not misdescribed and it not an early 2.4m
Not a 2.4 I don't think. There are a few of these about that come up for sale occasionally. Those bilges are real slack. A good indication of how downscaling plans does not always work!

Saw that, blinked and it was under offer. Seems to be quite a demand for Currawongs.

There have been quite a few sales in the last 12 months or so; Currawong, Ramona, Granny Smith, Olive, Kinora and 1 other in NSW early last year whose name I can't remember. The first 4 (maybe even 5 now
) are well sorted boats with a bit of history and set up for solo or short handed sailing. Maybe the attraction is a good boat on which much of the hard work has been done by the previous owner. Still a huge loss financially for most sellers, I suspect ...

Compass 28 in good condition -- $12k (Pittwater)
www.facebook.com/groups/1137328486326394/permalink/4074347339291146/
Good boat for a Pittwater or Lake Mac weekender but for offshore I would go for a Clansman for similar money.
For fans of Dick Carter designs. This is a steel version of Tina. Now if this was fibreglass or better still a double diagonal timber yacht it would sell in a heartbeat. This would be a first-class constructed steel yacht but it is only for the dedicated steel enthusiast. There is a lot of work ahead for this project. By the time you finished all the people who know what you have would be dead.

This is not a Mutiny 28 - Mutiny 28s didn't have that transom shape or interior. It looks like a Mutiny 8 (Laurie Davidson design) with extended transom and added mass to the bottom of the keel.

That transom is quite odd looking. At first I thought they had added a little scoop but the whole squareness of it and the flare to the topsides just looks strange. Could just be the perspective due to the angled transom.

Rig looks interesting as it appears to be triple spreader. Not quite sure what is going on because the bottom two spreaders are angled backwards as you would expect for a fractional rig but the top ones are transverse and not jumper struts.
The cooling ducts for the electric motor are also interesting and suggest that there might have been an overheating problem and I'm wondering whether the stated battery power would give 4 hours cruising at anything other than a nominal 2 1/2 knots or something. It would have to be kept at a marina as there is no way 100 watt panel would charge the motor batteries.
Interior is very basic for a 28 footer but it might be a fun boat to sail and that is what it is being billed as.

I would be curious of how they painted the blue topsides!
This is a Mutiny 28.
www.yachtandboat.com/listing/mutiny-28-5/
Can't find a photo of a Mutiny 8 at the moment - only a handful built.
Yes the blue topsides aren't flash but the best that could have been done since the hull is a Mutiny 8 which was a great boat but rushed into the market after the S80 and Adams8 to try and get some of that ..........the concave bow topsides in particular were not very fair but from midships aft they were reasonable. A satin polyurethane roll and brush tip would be the best re-paint method.
The rig is a double spreader rig with lateral jumpers to support masthead kites in lighter winds. The normal angle of such jumpers now is slightly angled forward as you allude to - so that backstay tension can assist to maintain suitable forestay tension in low proportion fractional rigs as well as support mhd kites laterally. Fractional rigs now are much higher proportioned - so instead of 3/4 are 7/8 or even higher. The original rig was single spreader, fractional kite only.
The boat would really benefit from a 1.5m prodder enabling big or small 16ft skiff asymm kites to be flown off the masthead or fractional kite halyards. Such a prodder can easily be set up with the existing symm kite pole off the deck which is what Selden offer at an eye watering cost.

I had a look at this boat as its on a mooring near me. Owner, who had absolutely no idea how to sail with no experience, had really let it go. They lived interstate. Some creative words by the salesman. The engine had been sitting in a puddle of water and was covered in rust. Winches were uncovered and some wouldn't turned. Inventory of racing sails not on board and owner didn't know where they were (suspect he never got them when he bought it). Carbon head sail was stuffed in a quarter berth. Main sail left uncovered for at least a year...... and.... what appeared to be a smashed bong (yes a bong) in the V-Berth.

If the Bong is smashed it's probably done for. Whitworths don't stock parts and Arnold's no longer hold any stock.

This is 52ft not 34ft. The materials cost and person hours to bring this back to life in a reasonable time nearly impossible to estimate.

Think that was the yacht flying colours out of melb a bit of a pocket rocket in those days

Never seen one like this, pocket S&S 34 with a very modern looking interior. Coachhouse makes it look longer than 30. Quite a tidy unit by the looks of it.

Sometimes called a Yankee 30
Now that is temping!
Looks like it's from the old Swarbick SS30 moulds. Long cabin versus the Defiance short cabin. The interior is nice but I'm not sure about the cushion colours!

This boat is parked near mine. The topsides are actually flared out and the scoop looks integral with the rest of it (i.e. not grafted on). The external blue paint is dimpled, as shown in the photos.

Don't think it's related to a Defiance 30 because of the Defiance concave stem. the bow looks much more like an S&S 34 which I guess is to be expected considering the heritage

Just to clarify, believe these 2 comments are related to the "Mutiny 28" post originating 2nd May and onwards, not the SS30 post starting 9th May which has no transom scoop and no topside paint dimpling either. Also looks to be in Pittwater not Qld.

It's not related to the Defiance. It's either a Yankee 30 or a Swarbick 30. Going by the build date it is unlikely to be a Swarbick unless someone else took over the moulds. There are a couple of Yankee 30's about and roughly 12 Swarbicks and at least two SS30's in Sydney with "glass decks and cockpits on double diagonal hulls. The Defiance is basically the same hull with a smaller cabin first built in Melbourne by Savage but since built in other places. There are also all timber versions about. [bucks for fibreglass production].
When we discussed this earlier the photo at the start is a Swarbick.

I am not a fan the cushion covers either but someone will buy her and love her.

First Adams 10 to break the $10k barrier as far as I am aware.
