Romany 12 Dinghy, Folding Seats, Remote Controls, 4HP Mariner And Trailer

Most attractive vintage double-skinned fibreglass 12ft dinghy powered by 4hp Mariner long-shaft outboard with remote controls. There are two folding seats and the thwarts + steering column are made from Iroko, with a tung oiled finish. She has a substantial rubber "D" section gunwale fender all round and there are hard rubber pads let in to the fore, aft and top faces of the transom as a (surprisingly effective!) anti-vibration device. Accessories include oars, rowlocks, boathook (all stored in spring clips beneath the thwarts), nav lights + batteries, mooring lines, together with an 11 litre fuel tank, fuel line and spare 5 litre tank for refuelling. She is beamy for her length and very stable.

The motor is set up for remote controls, but the tiller, cable, fuel tank and ancillaries to convert it back to throttle control will come with the boat. The motor has only been used in fresh water, and is in very good condition. Built by Romany Boats in Wareham, the hull was completely refurbished in 2014 (pics on request) and the woodwork was fitted in 2014/15. The trailer had new tyres and wheel bearings in 2016 and comes with a lighting board and wheel chocks and a good spare tyre. Petite (DOE registered) is based in Thames Ditton and we've had a lot of fun on the Thames - upstream to Henley and downstream to Lambeth - the Mariner never missed a beat.

If the purchaser lives locally to Thames Ditton there is a possibility of retaining the berth, but that would need to be agreed with the Club Secretary. Please email any questions, thanks for looking. Inspection by arrangement highly recommended.
