Sparkman & Stephens 60 ft Yawl 1939 - Sold

It is difficult not to be excited by a yacht this beautiful. ENTERPRISE was drawn with a flush deck and without the almost trademark short low profile trunk cabin that many of the S&S vintage designs have - this has the effect of highlighting her incredibly balanced lines - made all the more interesting and pure in appearance for it.

Plucked from the US by her current owner; ENTERPRISE is a potent classic racer; equally she has the accommodation to family cruise and this is what her original owner had intended - vintage S&S and all the magic that goes with that!
