Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this Memory 19
Memory 19 built in 1975 by the Liverpool Boat Co.
The Memory in its various forms has become a very popular boat with their attractive lines, good sailing qualities and ease of ownership.
The design offers extremely good value for money because of the potentially limited running costs. The mast can be stepped by hand without the need for a crane and boatyard costs. The boat can be launched on a slipway off the trailer, again negating the need for crane costs. With her shallow draft the choice of reasonably priced moorings is plentiful so a Memory 19 owner can find themselves with very acceptable annual running costs in a capable and attractive boat that offers a lot in terms of capability and sailing fun.
This particular boat is arguably the pick of the bunch and is surely one of the most complete and ready to sail examples to be offered on the market in a long while. The boat has undergone an extensive refit in the last 12 months and is currently on her trailer ready to tow away and is absolutely ready to launch and sail next season.
The 2024/2025 refit included the following works:
- New beaching legs and bolts
- New varnished boom crutch
- Centre plate pivot pin replaced
- Bobstay eye bolt replaced
- New running backstays fitted
- New varnished washboards
- New 12v battery and storage box
- Complete re-wire
- Bronze centreplate lifting winch fitted
- Centreplate box clad in varnished iroko
- New cockpit sole boards
- Complete repaint and varnish
- New Lewmar forehatch
- New topsail Yard
- New chainplate bolts
- Bronze chain pipe fitted
- New running rigging
- Rudder hangings re galvanised
- Re-furbished road trailer with new axle, brakes, wheels and tyres (never been submerged)
- Bronze Wykeham Martin furling gear fitted to both headsails
- Lead ballast recast to fit neatly against hull and secured in place
- Custom supports made to carry spars in transport
- New remote fuel tank for the outboard with securing tray in the cockpit
The boat was towed to France and sailed in the La Semaine du Golfe du Morbihan boat festival this summer.
This is the best example of a Memory 19 we have seen and is absolutely ready for her next owner to enjoy with all the hard work completed.
