Description:
An incredibly thorough rebuild by very competent people who knew exactly what they wanted to do with her, followed by more than a decade of the demands of successful day chartering on Penobscot Bay, Maine, have ensured more than fifteen years of trouble free, easily maintained ownership for two UK custodians of this strikingly beautiful, strong and practical sloop by one of the masters. SHANTIH OF COWES' board-up draft of only 1.4 m allows her to explore where others don't dare, and with the centre board down she sails delightfully and with the lack of fuss her purity of sheerline suggests. With such ease of sailing, comfort below and pure personality, SHANTIH OF COWES may be the perfect family and friends classic forty-footer. 2018 REFIT - New engine and exhaust system - New propeller shaft and cutlass bearing 2015 REFIT - birdpit well alterations - New fuel tank - Complete rewiring - Shore power installed - New Garmin electronics and VHF radio REBUILD Between 1988 and 1992 SHANTIH was recorded, dismantled and rebuilt in Camden, Maine by her shipwright owners Nigel 'Twig' Bower and Bonnie Schmidt and their Carpenter's Co-op colleagues. All new frames, floors, stem, horn timber, transom and centre board were fastened to the original ballast keel and deadwood.
