SUNMAID CLASSIC SPARKMAN & STEPHENS 37 FT ONE TON CUP SLOOP 1967

Two #boats were built to this RORC One Ton Cup design - another example of further development of CLARIONET, S&S design #1857, featuring the separate skeg and rudder in #vogue at the time. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/676/sparkman-and-stephens-37-ft-rorc-one-ton-sloop-1967 SUNMAID V was built of wood by the Clare Lallow yard in Cowes and launched in 1967. She was very substantially built both for the sake of her rating and drawing from the experience of ROUNDABOUT, in retrospect thought to have been too lightly built with no noticeable advantage on performance. Given a new deck and engine at The Elephant Boatyard in current ownership, along with many fine results in the classic fleet amid a flourishing of interest in the One Tonners of the 1960s and early 1970s - what's there not to like.
