Reluctant sale due to family circumstances/health resulting in lack of use. Built in 1990, Mandarin was one of the last Merlin’s built by Westerly, sail number 144 of 151. Mandarin is considered to be in good condition for her age and well equipped. Most yachts this age have varying degrees of osmosis, however Mandarin’s previous owner treated her with Gelshield after a two-year period ashore and no traces of osmosis have been found subsequently.
Recent upgrades include 240v shore power with mains outlets throughout and a sterling pro charge ultra charging unit, new VHF and aerial and new anemometer and display.
