Sparkman & Stephens 34

Now ashore for the winter. A Sparkman & Stephens 34 classic yacht  - a top design by Olin Stephens of Sparkman & Stephens fame.    S&S GRP hull with renovated wooden top and cabin using woods such as Iroko, Kumaru, Jatoba and Merbau.   This yacht has legendary sea-keeping qualities due to the design of its S&S hull. This Sparkman & Stephens yacht benefits from a 2,500 kg lead keel making it very sea-worthy and stable.   This particular yacht has had much refurbishment work over recent years.   Comes equipped with a full suit of sails and a larger-than-standard Beta Marine Kubota 28 bhp diesel engine with a recent new ZF gearbox (only about 30 hours use). A highly sought-after design this yacht is well equipped with everything working as it should and is ready to sail.   Recent improvements include a solar panel and charge control unit plus new instruments in a new panel. This design was conceived as the perfect cruiser/racer to RORC specifications and production has recently been re-started in Australia.
