26ft SOUTH COAST ONE DESIGN BERMUDIAN SLOOP – Burnes of Bosham 1962 – Exemplary Condition – Lying: Chichester
The South Coast One Design needs little introduction as one of the most successful yacht designs of the mid 20th Century. In 1955 a group of Island Sailing Club members approached Charles Nicholson to design an inexpensive fast one-design cruiser/racer. The first six boats built by Lallows of Cowes all competed in the 1956 Round the Island Race winning the first six places overall. The SCOD, as they became known, proved to be all that was wanted as a one-design and in all, over a period of about fifteen years, 106 boats were built by various boatyards, mostly on the South Coast. The Burnes built boats are now particularly sought after and much cherished by enthusiastic owners and members of the thriving South Coast One Design Association.
SANTIANO was built by Burnes of Bosham in 1962, number 76 of her class for brothers Doctor M S M & Doctor J M Palmer of Anchordown, Hampton Court. SANTIANO has only had three owners in her fifty-eight years a testament to the enduring appeal of the class. Purchased by the present owner some 25 years ago.
Carvel mahogany planed hull, copper fastened to steam bent timbers. Relaced marine ply deck, fibre-glass sheathed. Varnished mahogany coachroof coaming, cockpit and brightwork. Long ballast keel.
