SUMURUN : WILLIAM FIFE III 94 FT BERMUDAN KETCH 1914/20
Born into an aristocratic air of racy intrigue, SUMURUN’s charms have wooed a select band of suitors since her launch at Fairlie.
https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/686/SUMURUN
A legend in many lifetimes, SUMURUN is one of the most exquisite of William Fife’s large ‘fast cruisers’. For almost 110 years this 94ft ketch, formerly yawl, has been in commission and loved, most recently by the current owners who treated SUMURUN to a major 2017-2019 refit at Chantier du Guip. Return to classic racing late in 2019 was triumphant, with victory at Saint-Tropez. Rigged as a bermudan ketch since 1935, this handy configuration was retained but brought subtly up to date by Juan Kouyoumdjian. Under it, SUMURUN is perhaps consistently faster than ever yet retains the ability to cross oceans comfortably; something she has quite a reputation for. “Form is temporary; class is permanent”. SUMURUN is now seriously for sale.

In the Spirit Yachts 65 the marque has come of age, designer Sean McMillan leaving behind skerrycruiser roots to evolve something unique and of course highly attractive.

Still with an eye for grace and craftsmanship of the 1930s, but perhaps suggesting how the work of mid-century British yacht designers like Camper & Nicholsons, Kim Holman, George McGruer and Angus Primrose might have evolved. CHLOË GISELLE is probably the Spirit 65 that has ticked off the most sailing locations in her short lifetime in the knowledgeable ownership of a repeat Spirit Yachts client. She made her maiden forays afloat in the Far East, and with family and friends has raced and cruised both sides of the Atlantic and the English Channel. CHLOË GISELLE’s sail handling systems allow for effortless short-handed sailing, while below her beautifully lit and spacious accommodation offers great conviviality and privacy all at the same time.

https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/593/BORDER%20LEGEND
BORDER LEGEND is a resurrected McGruer masterpiece from the sunset days of traditional yachtbuilding in Britain; when finely-built wooden yachts were still just about the norm, and their designers and builders could call on a century or more of handed down skills. BORDER LEGEND's design by George McGruer is a natural evolution from the renowned work of his father, James, and her build was by the last generations of a highly skilled workforce managed by the wider McGruer family from the 1890s into the early 2000s. Among the last wooden yachts designed and built there in the early 1970s were three wholesome, elegant and fast 49-55 ft ketches. While the ocean passagemaking exploits of CUILAUN and TALISKER MHOR (ex CERESIO) have become legendary, their smaller sister, BORDER LEGEND (launched as GLORY B IV for furniture manufacturer W.J. Barton of Cheshire, later Hampshire), remained under the radar: a bona fide family cruiser. Circumstances saw her fall on hard times before recent rescue and a major refit under current, experienced ownership - so that one of the finest, last generation wooden yachts is now available for the pure enjoyment - and it can only be that - of her next owner. Meanwhile her rescuer has cruised BORDER LEGEND extensively - including the west coast of Scotland waters of her birth - and continually upgraded her.

DRIAC - Four sail reaching
Any yacht featured in the superb pre-Second World War series of ‘Uffa Fox books’ is without question a special one, and DRIAC may be best known these days from her inclusion in Fox’s ‘Sailing, Seamanship and Yacht Construction’ (1934).
https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/608/DRIAC
From a time when the design of the ideal offshore sailing cruiser was still evolving and much discussed, Uffa waxed lyrical about this characterful Charles E. Nicholson design which had comfortably reeled off well over 5000 miles in her first two seasons, including Portsmouth to Malta and back, under the command of her redoubtable first owner, A.G.H. Macpherson. DRIAC is still taking people on sailing adventures and, as she has always done, entrances with her looks, presence, and no-nonsense sailing ability.

PURITAN is quite simply a legend.
PURITAN is quite simply a legend...
She beautifully carries before her the spirit of America’s ‘Gilded Age’, was one of the earliest participants in the ‘Classic Yacht Revival’, and has continued evangelistically to spread the word for over four decades, with alumni becoming key players; disciples even. Built from the highest grade of steel then available by a shipyard set up to build submarines for the US Navy - and infused with the DNA of some of the finest American schooners - the care that went into PURITAN’s design and build, her ease of sailing and motion, and her spacious yet intimate accommodations have always guaranteed lovers, even when her chips were seriously down in the late 1960s. Mediterranean-based for most of the past 30 years, PURITAN has been enjoyed since 2015 in current ownership as a successful MCA-coded charter yacht and summertime family cruiser - with her centreboard-up draft allowing access to anchorages and harbours other yachts of her size can't reach.

COURAGEOUS
COURAGEOUS ⚓
SPARKMAN & STEPHENS / HENRY B. NEVINS 48 FT BERMUDAN SLOOP 1947
Olin J. Stephens is said to have described COURAGEOUS as a cross between a New York 32 and an International 8-Metre; who are we to argue. This entrancing and fabulously authentic yacht does indeed have all the good looks and attributes of the legendary NY32s - stretched to the length of an 8-Metre. Her large, exceptionally comfortable and deep (and therefore safe) cockpit confirms her origins as Arthur J. Iselin’s Long Island Sound daysailer, but her spacious yet intimate accommodation and undoubted sailing ability and provenance hint of more ambitious cruising possibilities. And COURAGEOUS’s offshore racing past and recent form in classic regattas confirms her as the most beautiful all-rounder.

The Ed Burnett-designed 83ft /25m modern classic schooner SHINDELA anchored in the Golfe de Saint-Tropez last month during Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez.
Call Barney Sandeman: +44 (0)1202 330077
http://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/592/SHINDELA
SHINDELA is the largest design by the late Ed Burnett, and arguably the one that most exhibits what his old friend, colleague and mentor Nigel Irens describes as 'fusion' - a mix between tradition and modern; not 'spirit of tradition' in our view - we prefer 'modern classic'. SHINDELA's moderate fin and skeg-hung rudder hull form and efficient, easily handled schooner rig make her a dream to sail and manoeuvre, all done with an easy motion and no fuss. She has met and exceeded all the desires and expectations of her commissioning owner for a fast and well-mannered, comfortable and spacious - above and below - stylish family cruising yacht. Professionally maintained by her full time captain and crew for all of her first 10 seasons, SHINDELA is a confidence-inspiring vessel.

SONNY - One of The Best of the Best
Sparkman & Stephens 53 ft / 16 m Sloop 1935/2012
https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.u...
One of the most sought-after books on the designs of Sparkman & Stephens is titled ‘The Best of the Best’. Undoubtedly, SONNY is one: a fabulous example from the heady 1930s, when the focused minds of two New Yorkers only in their 20s, Olin and Rod Stephens, rapidly evolved the fast, efficient, yet comfortable moderate displacement offshore sailing yacht to a point where it couldn’t be bettered. For the past 25 years this has been celebrated in revival and restoration, particularly of the handy-sized 50+ feet cousins of STORMY WEATHER. SONNY’s treatment, care and regatta success both sides of the Atlantic over 20 years has been the best of the best. That, and her story, abilities, and sheer good looks make SONNY such an enticing prospect.

KAMALII - PHILIP RHODES 75 FT BERMUDAN KETCH 1958
https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/630/KAMALII
Call Barney Sandeman: +44 1202330077
KAMALII is considered one of the ‘Rhodes 77s’, but with a big difference: her original owner - heir to his family’s oil fortune, Larry Doheny III - specified a deep, full keel hull form for enhanced windward performance for this deceptively fast and exceptionally comfortable family cruiser-racer ketch. Or is it racer-cruiser? In Doheny’s long ownership, KAMALII participated in seven consecutive bi-annual Los Angeles to Honolulu ‘Transpac’ Races, finishing 2nd in class A in 1959. The present owners purchased KAMALII in California and after major hull restoration, in 2013 cruised the Pacific to her new life in New Zealand where upgrading has continued in between use as a family cruiser with the finest of pedigrees.

And now for something completely different...
https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/624/CAPOTESTA
Originally designed to be an efficient and consistently dependable workhorse during her past life as an all-purpose servant to the busy port of Genoa, CAPOTESTA has proven the perfect subject for her tug-fanatic owner to convert as a comfortable and fun, owner-driven motor cruiser for family holidays. CAPOTESTA’s always beautifully maintained Deutz 8-cylinder slow-revving engine, and almost 7 m beam on a waterline length of about 20 m, present an economic, stable and spacious platform for long distance cruises at 8–10 knots, and bursts at 13 knots when needed. CAPOTESTA’s accommodation offers four en-suite double cabins with presently unfitted-out space for more - guests or crew - while her relatively untouched deck spaces nicely don’t deny her past, and suggest a possible role as a race yacht mother ship.

The very easily driven Nigel Irens 31ft motor launch WILHELMINA
The very easily driven Nigel Irens 31ft motor launch WILHELMINA
https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/615/WILHELMINA
Apart from WILHELMINA's remarkable fuel economy numbers (see below), this Nigel Irens "LDL" launch of course displays his instantly recognisable styling, making the whole a most attractive, unique, and low carbon footprint offering. She has proven a much loved family day and weekend cruiser, exploring the coast and coves of Devon, and would be equally at home as a super efficient and striking superyacht tender.
WILHELMINA was conceived as a test vessel to further Nigel Irens's ongoing development of the 'LDL' (Low Displacement / Length ratio) hull form, based on the simple premise: "how much power do you really need?"... The timber-built WILHELMINA has demonstrated LDL's advantages by undertaking a number of long-range passages. A recently completed 94 nautical mile passage from Cowes, Isle of Wight, to Dartmouth, Devon, was accomplished at an average speed of 11 knots (benefitting from an average one knot fair tide). Fuel burned amounted to only 37 Litres - so 0.4 Litres per mile.
WILHELMINA is eminently suitable for re-powering with a battery-powered electric motor.
Classic yachting is so often living, touching, feeling yachting history; so true with the wonderful and famous 1930 Charles Nicholson bermudan cutter DRIAC.
