Description: Here you have a chance to get yourself a fabulous project
yacht. Sunspinner is a Michael Henderson Half Tonner, moulded by Viking in Cowes
back in 1969 (pre oil crisis so extremely well laid up) and originally launched
in 1972. One of only three built ( Sunspinner Moonspinner and Starspinner) as
half tonne racers before the design was modified and sold to Newbridge yachts
who produced it as the Newbridge Spinner. Sunspinner now requires some further
work to complete and launch, which sadly I can not complete due to health issues
within the family. The keel has been removed and rebedded with new bolts fitted.
The old 2 stroke engine has been removed along with its associated sea cocks
and the hull made good. Lynch 8kw pancake motor has been fitted (along with
new batteries) and test run (motor controller needs to be fitted after paintwork
complete). Cockpit drains have been upgraded. The deck house can either be completed
or removed and the original hatch refitted (no structural alterations required
to do this and the original hatch is still onboard) The rig, sails and deck
fittings are with the boat as is the cradle. Yard fees are up to date and are
currently £15 per week but that is something you would need to agree with
the yard. I would of course recommend viewing to satisfy yourself as to exactly
what you are bidding on so please feel free to contact me if you should wish
to. Boat is located in EX12 Any questions please feel free to ask. This is your
chance to own a fabulous and pretty unique ocean going yacht for very little
money and just a bit of effort.
