Description
Sunbeam is a masthead sloop in GRP built by Thames Marine (UK) Ltd Canvey Island. It is believed 200 units were built. She is a reasonably good performer very stable / stiff Sunbeam is best suited as an inshore cruising yacht. Although it must said a few have ventured much further over the horizon
The Snapdragon 27 and the Westerly Centaur were ubiquitous in the 60’s and were a popular choice for many a seasoned sailor or novice
Sunbeam is equipped with a masthead rig and bilge Keels. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity a plus the bilge keels allow for shallow water anchoring. Plus the option of ‘Taking the Ground.’ Sunbeam has a good beam and the sails appear to be in good order. Whilst she may not win any Racing line honours, she will get you home in comfort .Sunbeam is well equipped for sailing the Solent or further afield if conditions allow. She has, in addition to the standard tiller, hydraulic wheel steering and dinghy davits on the stern. Plus a TV and CD/Radio for those summer evenings after the sun has set
At an asking price of £4500 Sunbeam is excellent value for money.
