Boat
Built around 1987, as one of the last of its type. Has substantial improvements over earlier models. When I bought the boat, it was in a very unloved condition, however I have a love affair with these boats and could not allow it to remain unloved. Since I have owned the boat, I have done a lot of repairs to bring it back to a usable condition and maintain reliability.
One of the last Boomerangs to be manufactured. The difference to the earlier models is the pop top, single line/post centreboard lift, moulded/lined interior and external bins and sealed ~ 20ltr watertank up forward. The Boomerangs are a great tuff little boat suitable for racing and cruising. This boat comes ready to sail straightaway. The hull has been re-antifouled in a white paint to match the colours of the boat. All ropes and lifelines have been replaced.
120Ah lithium battery powers the centreboard lift, internal LED lights, navigational lights, Sirocco fan, automatic bilge pump and a 60ltr sliding draw fridge. The battery is charged by a 25A DC-DC converter powered by either the 200W folding solar panel, or your car when driving down the road.
Cushions have been mostly replaced and recovered in grey vinyl. Can sleep two in the forward V berth and one to two in the side berths (fridge would need to be removed for second side berth).
Sails; all sails are in very good condition, Main, Genoa, Jib, Storm Jib and spinnaker. Also has a whisker pole and a spinnaker pole.
Green boom tent and a white pop top cover to keep things dry. Hull has been antifouled in white. Rudder is a carbon fibre dagger type held in a stainless-steel rudder box.
