    have for sale my Wanderer dinghy, it’s in superb condition and comes with a brand new (and expensive)  Mersea combi trailer. She has a two part mast and junk rig. The two part mast is well made, goes together easily and fits within the length of the boat. There are zipped bags for the junk rig sail bundle and lower mast. It’s simple to assemble and for one person to put up. The battens are powder coated aluminium tubes and the fabric is lightweight rip stop material. I made the rig myself based on information given on the Junk Rig Association website. I am an ex architect and have built and converted many boats over my 50 years of sailing. I like to do things properly and this boat is well sorted. There are no rough edges anywhere to be seen.

    There is a virtually new Hartley cover. It’s fitted with new hardwood rubbing strakes, a big improvement, there is also an outboard bracket. 

    Why am I selling? Well, at 75 I seem to have lost the energy to cope with it. I have a smaller lighter dinghy I'm going to use instead.

    I am looking for £2950 for the boat. Ring Richard on 015395 65870 or 07909 767273

     The boat is located near Arnside, Cumbria.

    NOTE  I would put up more photos but for some reason the website won’t let me. Look up my advert on Ebay to see these.
