Would anybody be able to identify this stove?
It's onboard a 80's NZ built yacht and may be original.
It's running on metho but the burners look exactly like my previous Talyors Kero stove.
I would like to know the make and model.
Thanks
Steve

I am sure that is a kerosene stove, not metho and a damned good one.

Metho stoves (Maxi Type) need the tank above the burner height for gravity feed.

That one has the tank below and the pressure pump at the front. I think the one on gumtree is good buying at $200.

Since the boat is from New Zealand, its probably the New Zealand brand Mariner:

I found one that looks similar here:

Had a look at the gumtree one today. Too big for my galley, by 3cm, but looks to be a good bit of kit.

Hi Ambience. You say your yacht is an 80s New Zealand build and looking at your avatar pics to me it looks very much like you have a Lotus 9.2 with a fractional rig.

If it is a Lotus I congratulate you on your excellent taste in yachts. My yacht, Second Wind is a Lotus 9.2 and every time I am aboard her I am reminded of the brilliance of Alan Wright's design.

If she is a Lotus I would love to compare notes with you.

You stove is excellent. I think it should be run on kero though. You will get a much hotter flame. The stainless work surrounding it is magnificent.

This is my stove, also a Mariner but on gas with a grille and oven. Because of the high cost of gas certification, weight and little use of the oven I want to fit a stove the same as yours and carry aboard a Weber BabyQ or similar for BBQs and roasting.

Cheers Cisco.

Hi Ambience,
Have not had the chance to respond due to being on the Lord Howe Island trip with MorningBird and HaveFun for the last two weeks.

I had a Windrush Wildfire some time ago called "Pancho" from which I decided one day I would own a larger yacht and call it "Cisco", which I did, which was a Van De Stadt 34 that I never got to sail.

The Wildfire and the Lotus are a very similar hull form, just different size, which may be described as an enlarged planing dinghy hull form with the beam carried to the transom which just happens to be what some of the latest designs from France are, ie giant planing dinghies like Shaggybaxter's new Pogo 12.5 is.

They might not punch to windward as well as the 70s to 80s IOR designs but off the wind they fly.

I believe these Alan Wright designed Lotus yachts are way ahead of their time and entirely relevant in today's sailing world. Your yacht and mine have a difference in length of 1.4 m (4.8 ft) and no doubt a proportional difference in water line length. This means they should each perform comparatively well against same length yachts.

My intention is to prepare "Second Wind" for the racing season here in Bundaberg and then cruise her down the Great Sandy Straits and up into the Keppel Island group.

There are not many Lotus owners in Aus but those of us that there are seem to be very happy with thier ownership.

Keep the dialogue open.

Cheers Cisco.
