Rhodes Ranger 29 design, built in Scotland as the Seafarer 28. Penned by the naval architect Philip Rhodes, this is 1962 GRP classic with nice lines and sea-kindly performance.
She benefits significantly from a comprehensive refit by the previous owner (a marine industry professional), which included a new engine installation and interior updates. She is a sturdy, long-keel classic that prioritises sailing ability over internal volume.
Selling due to conflicting family commitments leaving insufficient time for sailing. This is a reluctant sale; do not want to see a boat deteriorate through lack of use. She needs a new custodian to get her out on the water where she belongs.
Viewing: Lying ashore at Wicormarine Yacht Haven, accessible for inspection.
Mechanical: The professional refit ensures she is mechanically sound.
Cosmetic: Fair. She is ready to launch and enjoy immediately, some exterior woodwork/brightwork will benefit from attention and varnishing next season to bring her back to her full aesthetic glory.
Engine: Yanmar 2YM15 with single-lever controls
Propulsion: 3-Blade Propeller
Sails: Main and Headsail by Flew Sails. The sails are finished in a traditional Egyptian Cotton/Cream colour
Spinnaker: Included(condition not known), complete with spinnaker pole.
Canvas: Matching Summer cockpit cover and Mainsail cover (styled to match the cream sails).
Layout: main cabin, heads and V-birth
Upholstery: A full set of cushions in perfect condition (stored at home during winters).
Galley: 2-burner alcohol stove (safe and simple) and a sink with pressurised cold water.
Heads: Separate compartment with Marine Toilet and pressurised water sink.
Electronics & Navigation: Marine VHF Radio, Depth Sounder, Log, Cockpit compass
