Shrimper Mk II Fairmaid

No.: 845
Year: 2001
£17,950.00

 

Owned by the current owner from the beginning of 2021 and he has thoroughly enjoyed sailing her until this season when failing health has prevented him from getting as much time on her as she deserves. He has therefore reluctantly put her on the market.

Fairmaid is a superb example of the Mark 2 Shrimpers. She comes with an in-board Yanmar 1GM 10 diesel engine, ‘break-back’ road trailer with a recently replaced single axle, a tiller pilot, a spinnaker, cockpit cushions, an all over winter cover and a solar panel to trickle charge the two batteries. The current owner gave her a complete overhaul when he bought her in the Winter of 2021. All her spars were completely stripped and varnished with Epiphanes varnish, her standing rigging was replaced, her mast top lights were re-wired, her solar panel was replaced and a second battery was added. Since then she has been lifted her out every winter for spar varnishing, polishing, antifouling, engine servicing, keel & rudder servicing and storage under her cover. During the past year we have lifted the in-board engine out for a complete overhaul. The engine now has a new cylinder head, exhaust elbow, new alternator and a fully repainted housing. The trailer had a new axle complete with bearings, brakes and cables in 2022. Prior to this, the previously owner also immaculately maintained her with plenty of documentation to show for it.
