Boat Data

Sunshine is a two masted gaff rigged schooner. Her total sail area is 5,296 square feet. The hull and rig are exactly faithful to the original 1900 design. The interior is hand crafted from teak and rosewood and is only modified from the original to allow for modern safety standards such as the watertight bulkheads. The deck is laid in teak planks over the steel frames. The masts and spars are all of Sitka Spruce, and the standing rigging is of galvanised steel. Her hull is Dutch Marine grade A steel, and her building in Yangon was under the supervision of a Lloyds surveyor to Lloyds SSC plan approval. Her safety equipment was refitted in 2017 to the strict requirements of the Maltese Registration Authorities.
