Mariner 17 Trailer Sailor!

A member of the longest continuous production run in grp construction history. This example has a stainless steel cabin hatch cover and mast tabernacle making almost unique among its design. Easily driven by sail or power she has a mainsail and two genoas (one is tired). These boats handle like heavy dinghies but the cabin will shelter a family of four if the children are young. Roller reeling on the genoa, slab reneging on main.

Although not fitted I'm including a brand new leisure battery, 5 volt solar panel, inverter and charging control unit. Other items will include a second (heavier) anchor, two buoyancy aids, a lifeboat hook and a pair of aluminium oars/paddles and 7 fenders. I am selling because the ill health of my parents means I no longer have the time to maintain and use Barney's Buoy anymore. Cancer and multiple strokes mean I must devote my free time to them. Storage at the present location is only £15 a month and is already paid until 30th April.

As far as I am concerned you can take the plot over with the boat, simply change the details of ownership with the national trust office on site - I'll help you sort it if you let me know what day you'll be there. The lighting board pictured goes with the towing vehicle, you will need to provide your own. I'm willing to throw in a life jacket and three lorry straps if she goes for more than £1850, this being the price I paid for her originally. Please no time wasters, this sale is painful enough without chasing people around.
