Any information on Arden 4 Clansmen 24ft?

Anyone know where to find the hull number on the Arden 4? R.

What kind of speeds to you get from your Yanmar - I will have to replace the Volvo when it eventually dies.

Also, has anyone suffered from deflection of the coachroof at the mast step?

Many thanks.

Hi Gavin, The yanmar is not that quick at around 4knots, less when going in to the weather. It is reliable though, ours ran even though it was in dire need of repair. R.

Yes. I opened up the grp and dug out masses of soggy plywood/timber. I also replaced the forward deck beam with mahogany and fitted a mahogany mast step, all enclosed with epoxy and rovings.

Did you replace the timber beam that runs along the centrelinr between the bulkheads?

Just got my hands on an Arden4, it's my first boat, a friend of mine is going to help me with getting it ready (though it seems pretty close to getting wet)

I have since sold the boat, but if you PM me your e-mail I can scan and send the brochure

I'm new to this forum, and when I click on your name to send you a PM it says "you do not have permission to perform this action". Perhaps you could send me a PM to start the conversation and I can reply to that? Sorry to be a bother
