Offshore Yachts Nantucket Clipper for sale in Argyll and Bute United Kingdom

Boat Overview

Designed by Alan Buchanan, the Nantucket Clipper is an instantly recognisable boat featuring traditional clipper characteristics and a sweet shearline with low topsides. As a heavy displacement boat by modern standards, she has earned a reputation as a highly capable and safe offshore cruiser, ideally suited for short and single-handed sailing.

Unlike some examples, SAND DOLLAR was professionally fitted out at the factory when new and has undergone a major re-fit in the late 1990s. Lovingly maintained by her current owner, she has been predominantly sailed single-handed and is set up for ease of use. She is offered with a comprehensive inventory that includes:

• Topsides painted with International 2-pack paint (2019)
• Underwater hull epoxied below waterline
• Perkins Perama M30 marine diesel engine (2000)
• Darglow bronze 3 blade feathering propeller
• Nelson two burner, grill and oven gas cooker (2016)
• Eberspacher diesel fired warm air heating system
• Raymarine ST4000 tiller pilot system
• Sprayhood fitted new in 2019

A comprehensive additional set of images is available upon request. This is a reluctant sale; she is still in active use with her current owner. Any viewing is strictly by prior appointment and will be conducted in line with the latest government COVID-19 guidelines.
