Sunshine is being offered for sale. The yacht has four watertight bulkheads, and integral tanks. All steel edges that are susceptible to chafe are protected with stainless steel, i.e. chain plate bolt holes, hawse pipes, fairleads, deck margins, and bulwarks under the wooden rail. The centreline Autoprop is driven by a Cummins diesel. The deck (semi swept) is of solid (over 2" thick) long length quarter sawn teak, probably the last deck of this traditional type that will ever be laid down on a yacht, caulked with cotton and stopped with black rubber. Butt joints are minimal and the planks are fastened from below, with no plugs in the deck. The spars are all made up from laminated Alaskan Sitka Spruce. Standing rigging and bottlescrews are of galvanised steel turned in traditionally. Sails: Most of the wardrobe are Lee Sails from Hong Kong, made from Japanese Dacron. The interior is comfortable and attractive, made of polished wood it is a craftsman's delight. Solid teak framing and rosewood panelling with mostly leather upholstery. Due to the integrity of her reproduction, and high aesthetic appeal, Sunshine is accepted by the CIM authorities as a vintage yacht. Please e-mail for more details |
