Custom Santander 30 (1972) for sale in Sunderland, United Kingdom

English

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 present owners have owned her for 27 years 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 age has caught up with them and 'Marlin' is looking for younger and fitter custodians to enjoy further adventures with. 
She is a good solid craft with a decent engine and good inventory.
