Sparkman & Stephens / Sangermani 50 ft Sloop 1968

Harking from a seminal period in Sparkman & Stephens design history following their 12-Metre INTREPID's America's Cup success - when S&S led the way in split-keel-and-rudder racers and cruiser-racers - ROSE WILDER has the added good fortune of build by one of the finest of Italian yards, Cantiere Sangermani. Their artistic attention to detail and quality is evident throughout. As SANDPIPER in long initial ownership by Santa Barbara Yacht Club's Dean Brown, she was a well known and successful participant in some of the classic West Coast USA offshore races. Subsequently she has cruised the Pacific seaboard in the hands of only two owners who, not surprisingly, fell in love with this very attractive, responsive and sure-footed yacht. Modern sail handling systems allow her to be easily sailed single or short handed while bow and stern thrusters allow neat berthing feats. Although very much in commission, ROSE WILDER does require attention to elements of her structure commensurate with her age - reflected in a sensible asking price for a very striking 50-footer with superb provenance.

PRIOR YEARS
The 3rd (and current) owner, who has restored several notable historic homes, has owned the boat for 26 years. He fitted her with:
- 3 bladed Max Prop
- Hot water heater and shower in the head
- Black water holding tank
- Vetus bow and stern thrusters
- Forward stateroom 2 x single berths option to convert into a king size berth for two

The 2nd owner, with a background in architecture and computer technologies, modernized and upgraded all systems in 1996. This was carefully planned and then carried out with the highest quality and most advanced gear available, but always with a sensitive and artistic appreciation for the classic grace and beauty this boat embodies.
