Information believed to be accurate but not guaranteed.
We always recommend a professional survey before purchasing any watercraft.
This Gary Mull design was built between 1975 and about 1978 by Ranger Yachts of Costa Mesa, CA (later Jensen Marine.) They are said to win more than their share in PHRF even today. The specs we have say she displaces 5100 and draws 4'6".
This boat was actively sailed until about four years ago and has since been stored at the boat yard, with little attention since, so it needs a little cleaning up.
It's available for inspection. We live close by so appointments should be fairly easy.
There is a 2007 professional survey that indicated an estimated market value of $3900 at that time. That survey is available for inspection.
Large sail inventory includes at least one mainsail, various jibs, and at least one spinnaker with turtle. These are older sails but said by the donor to all be usable. There are stored separately in an indoor heated space and are available for inspection by appointment only.
This is an aluminum spinnaker pole.
Power is 15 HP OMC Zephyr Saildrive, 1984 model 15S14M (gasoline) retrofitted circa 1984, rebuild circa 2011.
The hull is single-skin (solid, no core) fiberglass with a bolt-on lead keel. It appears to be in good, sound condition. Rudder and post appear sound, operating smoothly with no perceptible play.
Deck are balsa core and show significant softness in some areas. This is indicated in the survey and may have progressed from the time of the survey.
There is no cradle. The jack stands belong to the yard.
This boat yard quite reputable. It is gated and well-secured. Yard states that Winter storage and Spring 2017 launch has been prepaid. Yard states that buyer must schedule a launch by June 1, 2017, or arrange for Summer storage.
Our relationship with this yard is of great value to us. All appointments must be scheduled through the lister. Please do not attempt to arrange access directly with the boat yard. If you wish to verify storage arrangements with the yard, please contact us first.
Questions welcome.
THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THIS BOAT!
