Custom Bud Macintosh schooner

The schooner SJOSTRUM was commissioned by her present owner and has been a worldwide cruising home to him and many adventurers since her launch in Richmond California in 2006. Designed by Bud Macintosh, a prolific American builder of gaff rigged schooners, SJOSTRUM is a massively strong build. Double diagonal strip planked Douglas fir, saturated with epoxy and sheathed with grp gives such a substantial 5 inch thick hull! Her beautiful rig comprises two solid Spruce masts with a mixture of wire and synthetic standing rigging. On deck she offers a very safe and comfortable environment, fully encloseable cockpit, 36 inch high solid guard rail and newly painted anti skid decks. The seated cockpit is a neat oval design and extremely secure. Down below the interior offers a maximum of 13 berths with excellent amenities for all including full airconditioning.

SJOSTRUM underwent a two year refit in 2020. The masts were removed for varnishing, some new standing rigging, the 400hp engine was thoroughly serviced plus all new gauges, the generator effectively rebuilt, all new cabin soles, much new deck hardware, complete hull job and new rudder, new cabin soles, new LED lighting and so much more. Only regretfully for sale, this schooner is a true turn key prospect and your early viewings are highly recommended.

Below decks full forward there is a chain locker followed by a forward cabin with three single berths and private head with shower. This cabin is accessed via a forward deck hatch, and is separated from the remainder of the vessel by a watertight bulkhead. Aft of the watertight bulkhead are two large staterooms (Chief Mate to port and Master to starboard) both rooms have private enclosed heads with showers and king sized berths. Moving aft there is another smaller stateroom with queen sized berth and private head to starboard, and to port and center a large open saloon with 2U 2 shaped settee, coffee table and 50 2 flat screen TV. The machinery space door is located at the aft starboard corner of the lower saloon. This space houses the main engine, fuel delivery system, generator, water maker, hot water heater, auxiliary pumps and battery installations. From the lower saloon, moving aft and up three steps, you enter the upper saloon, with U shaped settee to port, fully equipped galley to starboard and navigation station in the aft port corner. The companion way ladder is just inboard of the navigation station. A passage way leads aft from the galley on the starboard side, with full sized washer and dryer to starboard and enclosed head to port. Just aft of the head there is an aft cabin with port and starboard double berths.
