Marken Iii Buchanan Sspant Sold

The Marken III we are offering you is a design by Alan Buchanan. She was built in 1972 at the Dekker yacht yard on the Diemerzeedijk in Amsterdam. The boat has been maintained with great love and dedication by the current owner, who has owned her for many years. The Sodalis can rightly be called a modern classic and is fully ready to sail. The yawl rig, with the mizzen mast positioned aft of the rudder, and the S-frame hull shape make this boat very steady on course under sail. This makes her suitable for large open waters. The hull is made of steel, the deck of teak, and the interior and superstructure of Bruynzeel marine plywood. The teak deck has been treated with the Owatrol system and needs some varnish maintenance. The wooden masts are in good condition, as are the sails, although the latter are somewhat older. The mainsail and mizzen are hoisted and reefed at the mast, and the genoa has a roller reefing system. There is also a storm jib and a spinnaker. The cockpit offers ample space for a crew of 4 to 5 people. The engine room is located under the floor. The 36 hp Volvo Penta was installed in 1985, and the electronics have been replaced and neatly installed. The interior is remarkably spacious, with sufficient headroom even for tall people. There is a simple galley and navigation table. In the forepeak there is a double cabin and toilet room, with a hanging closet opposite. Aft to starboard is a pilot berth. The benches in the saloon can also be used as sleeping places, providing no fewer than 5 sleeping berths. For those who appreciate the charm of classic yachts, this is an interesting yacht. The boat has always been stored indoors in winter and can be viewed in Monnickendam. This boat is being brokered through office White Whale Yachtbrokers Enkhuizen.
