Sparkman & Stephens 39

The S&S 39 warrants the description, 'classic'. Hundreds have been built and most are still cruising. Designed as bluewater-capable cruiser-racers these rugged vessels have cruised and raced the world's oceans. The heavy glass construction and solid timber fit-outs are reassuring. These vessels don't break easily. That said, the S&S 39 performs well under sail (and motor), indeed many are still club racing.

Norlee has many sea miles under her keel. The current owners have been unstinting in maintaining/replacing the things that matter. A hard cockpit spray dodger provides shelter and wind-vane steering eases the crew's workload and preserves battery power. These proven long-distance cruisers are sought-after for performance, safety, ease of handling and comfortable accommodations.
