Hola again,
Ok, so I am on board my lady Mariner.

If anyone is interested.

On my first days looking, apart from needing new cockpit hatches (the rest was rebuilt not soooo long ago), I have found some dry, soft, flakey wood under the steps leading into the Galley. It is not too bad, so I will put it down on the 'future work' list.
On deck, there are a further 3 strips of exposed wood, up to 6 ft in length, along the deck sides which need new fibreglass, then the entire deck and cabin must be repainted.

All this (at least) was to be expected as she has sat for a few years now.

What I wish help with is, "were all Mariner 40's fitted with the brochure-specified 120 Gallon's fuel and water tanks?
Also, the wooden masts are some 40 years old.. Have these ever been known to break? They do appear ok and have been protected by good paintwork. I would probably install a prop/support between the base of the main mast and the keel (the keel end being set in concrete).
Das cooker ist Kaput! Does anyone sell spares or 'kits'? or is it junk?
Lastly, is there any way I can discover if she has ever been storm/hurricane damaged.
Regards. James.
