Description
Marketing Description The Santander 30 was designed by William Tripp. In Holland the same boat was called the Tripp 30. The molds became available in the UK and many were purchased and fitted out by the owners. 'Marlin' is one such craft and was fitted out in Sunderland by her first owner in 1972. Her previous owner owned her up until 2025 and have cruised extensively up and down the east coast, Circumnavigated the UK and cruised over to Scandinavia. 'Marlin' has been fairly successful at club racing level. Unfortunately circumstances have changed for her current custodian and 'Marlin' is again looking for a new home. She is a good solid craft with a decent engine and good inventory.
Mechanical Vessel is powered by an economical and reliable inboard diesel engine. This 12hp, fresh water cooled Kubota Z500B, 2 cylinder workhorse is located beneath the companionway. Hurth reduction gearbox driving a stainless steel shaft and 3-bladed fixed propeller. Separate throttle and gearing controls with engine start panel in cockpit. The engine will sit at 2000rpm comfortably and at these revs will provide 5 knots and burn a frugal 1 litre per hour. She has been regularly maintained with most recent in February 2025. New Deep Sea Seal 2023.
Electrical Bank of 2x12V batteries providing engine start and domestic power. The batteries are fitted with a rotary style selector switch and recharged via the engine alternator or the onboard Adverc smart charger when attached to shore power.Engine start battery replaced 2023Adverc Battery ChargerShore power
