(60 miles from a safe haven, perfect for cross channel France & Channel
Islands). The
36 is a great all-around model for those looking for a solid cruising boat
with performance. Deyenu has a deep lead keel for improved performance
and pointing ability.
A
special mention for the owners as they have done a particularly good job
in preparing this yacht for charter even down to having a list of the anchor
chain markings encapsulated under the anchor locker lid.
Timu is
our second Bavaria 36 and came to us in 2006 with an excellent record of
charter.
She has been maintained to the
highest
standards. Timu is a standard configuration with tri data
and autopilot at the helm station. Unlike our other 36, Timu is current
without TV/DVD but this has not stopped previous clients of the yacht following
her to here new home.

With
an overall length of 37'4" and a beam of almost
12' the Bavaria 36 is a very spacious 36 footer! Easily
handled by two but comfortably accommodating more.
All
lines are led aft to the cockpit, the sail plan is well
balanced with a fast underbody. Three private cabins,
saloon area that converts to more berths, functional
galley, heating, separate navigation station and head
with shower, what else do you need? Teak decks.. yes
Deyenu has just about everything you want.

New to the fleet,we are awaiting further details,
Maggie May is one year old. She is a superb
example of her type. This
is not
a
yacht
to pack
crew in, Maggie May has a blue hull and is laid out for
more comfort with a higher luxury factor than other 42"
yachts. Maggie only takes
6 but in a rarely seen
comfort.

Sceptre
is perhaps one of the most historic and infamous wooden
boats in the world of yacht racing. Sceptre was the English
Challenger for the 1958 Americas Cup, backed by the Royal
Yacht
Squadron. Sailing this yacht is like nothing you will
have done before or will do after. A very special experience
for those lucky enough to get the rare chance to come
aboard. Sceptre is not chartered many times during a
year - are you one of the few who will take this extraordinary
opportunity to have sailed this magnificent thoroughbred.
Sceptre International 12 Meter
Sail Number: 12K 17
Sceptre's story begins as a dream, in September 1956,
of Hugh Goodson, a member of the Royal Yacht Squadron
and Commodore of Royal Dart YC, who decided to form
a syndicate of twelve to build a challenger of the
America's
Cup. A 165 Ton 'J' Class boat was the ideal choice
of design but neither the funds nor time was available
to
build a J so the sponsors sought a smaller class.
The design for the challenger was selected from the
work of four of the finest navel architects of the
time, and,
at the turn of 1957, David Boyd, James McGruer, Charles
Nicholson and Arthur Robb were asked to submit their
efforts for tank testing. After the New York Yacht
Club delegation visit to London to thrash out details
of the
challenge with the RYS in the spring, tank testing
was completed and the syndicate accepted the recommendation
to adopt David Boyd's 'B' model on July 13.

By October Sceptre was beginning to take shape in Alexander
Robertson's Yard at the head of Holy Loch. By the end of
the year her 17- ton lead keel was cast, mild steel frames
from Millen Brothers of Paisley arrived, backbone complete,
alternative steel and oak frames assembled, spruce shelf
and bilge stringer in place and mahogany hull planking being
laid. In February 1958, the planking was complete, a month
later the mast was in place and by April 11 Sceptre made
her maiden voyage. Shipped to America on SS Alsatia for the
America's Cup series commencing on the September 20, Sceptre
sadly did not manage to beat Columbia who successfully defeated
her challenger and thus America retained.
Today Sceptre is under ongoing preservation/renovation
by her owners but is available for that very special
charter through Symphony Sailing.
