What better way to start the new year than with an incredible picture of David Satter’s early-style Mariner WILDFLOWER at anchor in the fall as the sun sets. Known for years as #735 PROXIMUS and featured in this column back in 2016 and again in 2021, David’s complete refurbishment of her is nothing short of absolutely remarkable, and she looks nothing like her former self. Her true hull number is a bit of a mystery as she is missing her identification tag and another Mariner has since turned up with the ID plate of #735. Regardless, her custom mahogany companionway doors, cabin mahogany ceiling strips, rebuilt V-berth, custom tiller, short bowsprit for an anchor, and stunning paint and varnish set her apart from most all other Mariners. Currently for sale, her next owner will be buying not only a fantastic sailboat but a gorgeous showpiece.
