Specifications
The Flying Arrow Spanker is a polyester sailboat with a length of 5.80 meters and a width of 2.00 meters. This boat is suitable for use on inland waters such as canals, ditches, lakes, ponds, and rivers. Thanks to its compact size and flat bottom, the boat is maneuverable and suitable for recreational use, such as day trips and pleasure cruising.
Construction and Design
The hull has a flat bottom, which contributes to stability on calm water. This hull shape is particularly suitable for shallow waters and allows for close-to-shore navigation. The boat is steered via a tiller, which is located outside. This is a common configuration for smaller sailboats and provides direct control over the rudder. The boat is equipped with a single rudder blade.
Sailing Equipment and Rigging
The Flying Arrow Spanker comes with a mast and sails. The sails are stored dry, but no check has been performed on the completeness of the rigging. Potential buyers are advised to inspect the sailing equipment to determine if all parts are present and in functional condition.
No Motorization
The boat is delivered without a motor. The motor in the photo is not part of this lot.
Registration
The boat is not registered.
Trailer and Transport
No trailer is included in the sale of this boat. Transport will therefore need to be arranged by the buyer.
Origin and Background
The Flying Arrow Spanker was seized by Waternet enforcement. No further information is available about the boat's history or maintenance record. It is also unknown when the boat was last taken out of the water or when the last antifouling treatment took place.
Use and Sailing Experience
According to reports, the boat has been used for recreational purposes, such as day trips and pleasure cruising. The boat is suitable for calm waters and offers space for a relaxing sailing trip. Thanks to the combination of sail and motor propulsion, the boat is flexibly deployable, depending on weather conditions and personal preference.
Conclusion
The Flying Arrow Spanker is a compact sailboat without an outboard motor, suitable for recreational use on inland waters. The boat comes with a mast, sails, and motor, but without a trailer. Given the unknown state of the rigging, an inspection is recommended. The boat offers opportunities for those looking for an entry-level model for pleasure cruising or a project boat to refurbish according to personal preference.
For those interested in an affordable sailboat with potential for use on lakes, ponds, and canals, this Flying Arrow Spanker could be an interesting option.
