Description:
SAUNTERER's understated beauty and simple elegance could easily hide the fact that she is an extremely seaworthy, fast, and very English vintage yacht, designed and stoutly built by Charles Sibbick at Cowes in 1900 alongside some of the most slippery racing yachts of their day. SAUNTERER has benefited from a current owner who has conscientiously undertaken an important structural refit, helped by people who really know and understand this vessel – her fabric remains almost 100 percent original – her teak planking and her yellow pine deck. Her originality can be physically felt the first time you actually catch a glimpse of SAUNTERER. Previous owners include Captain Oates of Antarctic fame and if he were to visit today he would recognise her immediately.a time machine perhaps, and a sailing machine most definitely! In my time of ownership – only the seventh family to have owned her in 122 years – I have finished the restoration started by my shipwright friend and colleague, Guy Savage, who with his wife, Chloe, saved this vessel and began this work before me, in 2009. Continuing to work with Guy since SAUNTERER came into my ownership, from 2013 onward we have removed every external iron fitting to be replaced in handcrafted bronze, most importantly we have modernised her systems for safety reasons, and we have replaced all her floors and keelbolts, also in bronze - which will allow her wooden hull to survive for at least the next generation. She is immensely strong, with double oak frames pinned together with bronze fastenings. With her wooden keel made from elm and teak, and hull made of lengths of elm below the waterline and teak above – materials almost unobtainable today – and with a yellow pine deck and double oak frames, she is nearly unmatched in durability and strength. And with her bowsprit and mizzen mast lengthened to the 1900 dimensions, and bermudan sail plan fully developed, she has become aesthetically very pleasing indeed... Still available at ListedBuy!
