The Woodvale Ocean Rowing Boat is for sale

A Woodvale Ocean Rowing boat that crossed the Atlantic twice with previous owners is for sale in Greystones in County Wicklow. 

The current owner has put the boat up for sale at €15k following an injury.

The boat was prepped and ready for an expedition from Ireland to Iceland before the injury, according to seller James Murray.

As regular Afloat readers will recall, Murray's plan was to depart Dublin and follow a 3,000km route up Ireland's east coast before crossing to Scotland.

This week, in an advert on Afloat's boats for sale section, with mixed emotions, Murray relays his Iceland odyssey thoughts:

"May never have got there, may never know, but chapters come and go. Looking for the next person to pursue their own ocean rowing dream with ‘Inspire’ which is water ready". 

The Boat is of plywood construction, in good condition and, according to Murrray, was professionally surveyed last summer as well as a number of upgrade works done including; insulation, brand new solar panel (unused) and newly built Croker oars (unused) as a reserve to the two existing pairs of oars.

The full list of items included is on his advert here
