Hi Mike,

Yep, just seen it. Blue sails are probably from an enterprise (similar size).
I think what I see is a blue sail bag in the cabin. That could be the Jeckells original.
Just don't be misled by the "racing yacht" statement in the advert :)
Nor by the steel hull, nor the 1980 date! The hole in the inspection hatch over the keel bolt suggests she's a pre-#150 boat and that places her closer to 1970/71.

This is Sheldrake. Last on eBay in September and as you'll see from the link, a boat with a history. This time there's a very slightly different set of photos.
