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. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/710/ROSE%20WILDER%20(ex%20SANDPIPER) 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 very reasonable asking price for a very striking 50-footer with superb provenance.
