Muskegon, Michigan

Make Quickstep

Model Long Shaft

Category Daysailer Sailboats

Posted Over 1 Month

1990 Quickstep long shaft Originally intended for aluminum construction, the design was sold to Bill Stannard of Rhode Island (USA), who produced 23 fiberglass boats. It was then sold to Gary Lannigan, marketing director for C.E. Ryder. Lannigan had Ryder build the boats (both the 24 & 21) but he marketed them. Lannigan eventually left Ryder and had the Quickstep built by The Anchorage Co. in Warren, RI and later by Shannon Yachts. The last ones were built by Lannigan himself as Quickstep, Inc. and the hulls were probably produced by Tillotson-Pearson or one of the other local Bristol, RI builders. Klassiek features an outboard well in the lazarette. This motor has only had marine grade fuel with Sta-Bil, with complete lower unit service and oil changed annually, and the motor is directly bolted to the transom. The trailer is a "float off float on" with the entire hydraulic brake system replaced. All electrical wiring and lights were replaced. The winch was replaced. New carpet on all of the bunks. The trailer has been repainted with Rust Bullet Standard Formula silver and black. All bearings were disassembled, cleaned, repacked with marine grease and installed with Bearing Savers and Hub Protectors with Zirk Fittings in the end cap. One set of tires replaced and all tires balanced. Tongue jack replaced. This boat has really been babied and it shows! She is a classic traditional daysailer/cruiser with beautiful lines that are timeless, with a very large cockpit. Klassiek turns heads everywhere she goes. Everything has been done for you. She really is turn-key.
