Many brokers state, "own a piece of history" so often that it has almost become meaningless, but here is a true exception to that statement. This beautiful classic sloop was built in 1967 in the famed Argentinean yard, Astilleros Samiento in Buenos Aires, from the plans of German Frers. After he finished working at Sparksman & Stevens in New York he moved to Argentina taking this design with him. She even has the trademark S&S twin hinge hatches, which were fairly unique at the time.

She was constructed from South American Cedar,(said to be harder than its North American equivalent), on South
American Oak, just to make sure she survived the harsh South Atlantic storms. Each frame was braced to the keel with bronze floors and diagonal bronze strapping that survives to this day, proving not just practical but aesthetically pleasing. She has completed three Atlantic crossings, the last being in 2007 when she was delivered from Argentina to Croatia where she now lies.

All of her fittings are original. Her 6 winches are bronze with bronze handles, bronze turn buckles for the stays and 3 copper funnels on the coach roof. All electrics were overhauled in May 2008, including 3 new batteries and shore power connection.

She has already been reduced from 45000 to 35000 Euros but all serious offers will be considered by the owner.
