Forums, For Sale / Wanted

Very reluctantly, due to retiring from sailing, our longstanding club member Mike Hellier is looking for a buyer for his Solo dinghy “Blown Ranger”, sail number 4482.

This great little dinghy was originally owned by Paul Kimmens from whom Mike bought it. It is a composite Solo and comes with a combination trailer and launching trolley. It was built in 2003 and remains in good condition.

The sail was new in 2006 and, as Mike has not used the dinghy intensively over the years, it remains in good condition.

The wooden deck has some small areas of damage to the varnish which will need attention, but it is otherwise in good condition. The rubbing strip needs attention and re-varnishing.

The rudder has 3 very small chips out of the trailing edge of the rudder and Mike carried out some minor repairs on it some years back. Otherwise it is in good condition.

Please see the attached pictures for more details.

The market value is estimated to be £1500 but Mike is open to offers. If you are interested in this Solo or would like more information, please contact Mike Hellier directly at mikejanhellier@btinternet.com

I have 4 remaining tie downs which would be good for boats similar to a Solo. (Laser, Areo, etc)
These can be seen in the boat park on a number of Solos.

I also have 3 tie downs which has adjustment on both sides for £12. All sets come with two protective sleeves to protect the hull/cover

I have these in my car so if you are interested catch me down the club or send me an e-mail.
