SUNCHASER- Swan 43/020 year 1969

S&S Swan 43, Sunchaser is a world-famous traditional sailing yacht built by Nautor in Pietarsaari. She is hull no. 20 and finished in 1969 . In the 70's she belonged to the St Francis Yacht club, where she had competed successfully in the Big Boat series races and received an honorable mention and a commemorative plaque for the boat. Sunchaser is equipped for competition use and has main winches made of titanium on deck. The winches are connected together, so turns and sail adjustments can be made quickly. The crew on this boat has been 9-11. On the bow deck 2-3, in amidships 3, mainsail adjustment from the seat box, helmsman, navigator and skipper. The races in San Francisco Bay took place in a total wind of 20-25 knots, but sometimes reached 35 knots. Back then, the places and sailing skills could be tough.

Imports to Finland

The Sunchaser was acquired in 2009 from Coos Bay north of San Francisco. From there, she was transported by road to the east coast of the USA and from there by ship to Rauma and Parais for refurbishment.

Renovation

During the winter of 2010, the boat underwent a complete overhaul. The teak decks were completely renewed. The interior joinery, some cabinets and doors were completely renovated. Some of the Koto bulkhead veneers had been damaged and were replaced. The floors were badly worn, but Nautor had once made plywood from solid teak, so they were able to be sanded and finished like new.

Technique

She was updated to the extent necessary. The original baby blake head was completely overhauled and and black water system added in accordance with the new regulations. The chromed parts were recoated. The instrument panels were restored to their original appearance. The decommissioned Loran-C system and radio-guided equipment were replaced with a new GPS navigator system. The engine was in good condition and the last Perkings 4-108 engine had been run for only 470 h in 20 years only the exhaust muffler was replaced.

SHAULA, Swan 37

Shaula was built in 1971 (hull number 23). She was sold to the Netherlands in the same year known as Easy Rider. Hers home port was Rotterdam in the Netherlands and the owner was J.C.W. van Dam. At the same time, the boats name was changed to Shaula.

Shaula has been raced actively in the ”inner lakes” of the Netherlands. In the 44 years the boat was in Netherlands she has been continuously improved and repaired, for example, the new Perkins (36 hp) fitted in 1993. In 1996 Shaula got her second owner. New owner renewed navigation instruments and cooker. He also installed a water heater and a cooling unit. He also renewed the fresh water system completely. In 2003 Shaula got a new teak deck and some electronics. Also, the top-sides were painted. Winches have been replaced to new ones. In 2009 her bottom got an epoxy barrier coat treatment. She had 16 sails, four of them were spinnakers.

The third owner bought the boat in 2015 and sailed her to Parainen, Finland. During this ownership, she got a holding tank, heater (Webasto) and a new cover for the motor. Also, the interior was varnished. The boat was placed on sale in the summer of 2018 since the owner wasn’t a sailor and boat was a part of an exchange in a motorboat deal.

We bought the boat in 2018. Her current home port is Helsingfors Sägelsällskap (HSS). During the winter 2018-2019 the electronics and upholstery is updated.

In Finnish

S/y Shaula on valmistunut vuonna 1971 runkonumerolla 23. Se on myyty Hollantiin samana vuonna, tiettävästi Easy Rider -nimisenä. Hollannissa sen kotisatama oli Rotterdamissa, omistajanaan J.C.W van Dam. Samalla veneen nimi muuttui Shaulaksi.

Shaula kilpaili aktiivisesti ns. sisäjärvillä vuosia. Sitä kunnostettiin 44:n Hollannin vuoden aikana runsaasti, mm. Perkins 36 hp on vuodelta 1993. Vuonna 1996 Shaula sai toisen omistajansa, joka uudisti mittaristot, lieden, asensi vesivaraajan ja kylmäkoneiston. Myös veneen vesijärjestelmä uusittiin perusteellisesti. Vuonna 2003 Shaula sai uuden teak -kannen ja elektroniikkaa. Myös kyljet uusittiin 2003. Vinssit ovat samoin vaihdettu uusiin. Vuonna 2009 pohja sai epoksiprimer -käsittelyn. Purjeita oli 16 kpl, joista neljä oli spinnuja…

Vene ostettiin vuonna 2015 Suomeen ja se samana vuonna purjehdittiin Paraisille. Veneeseen on täällä mm. asennettu septitankki, webasto ja teetetty uusi moottorikoppa. Samoin kaikki puupinnat on kunnostettu. Myyntiin vene päätyi täällä, koska vene tuli Suomeen moottoriveneen vaihtokaupassa; uusi omistaja ei ollut purjehtija.

Me ostimme Shaulan loppukesällä 2018 ja se siirtyi Paraisilta kotisatamaansa Helsinkiin, Helsingfors Sägelssällskap HSS:lle syksyllä 2018. Talven aikana veneen elektroniikkaa päivitetään, samoin patjojen verhoilut.

TUNGU - Antilla 30 Design #2042

TUNGU - Antilla 30 Design #2042

Translated from Finnish

The boat is better known in the history of Finnish sailing sport by the name Marjo 3, given by its original customer Keijo Petäjän. It was launched in 1973.

Eino Antinoja had already manufactured the same frame under the trademark S&S 6.6. (the number comes from the IOR metric). The boat was developed by making a completely new deck structure. The Antilla 30 has a larger open space than the S&S 6.6, but due to its higher superstructure the interior is slightly higher. There were also a few other technical modifications to the boat that allowed the foot to have a longer mast and a correspondingly greater sail area.

The alterations were designed by architect Keijo Petajä, the client of the boat. For his boat, he also designed a one-off interior that was built from mahogany plywood. Serialized Antillas come in many different interior variants, but most of them are made with reinforced plastic interior modules.

Marjo 3, curled by Keijo Petäjä, was the most successful Finnish half-tonne of its time. The boat had a very large sailboat made by Hood.

After Keijo Petäjä's death, the heirs sold the boat to the Hamilton sea captain Jarkko Kukkonen. The owners' express wish was to give the boat a new name and Kukkonen to cross it to Tungus. Tungu moved from the Kukkonen family in 1994 to their current owners, Ari and Vesa Mäkelä, and now our late father was also a member of the boat.

The boat has undergone a thorough overhaul, but its style and, where possible, equipment is still very original. Where technology has had to be renewed, we have tried to preserve style as much as possible. There is plenty of original movable storage, for example. all original Hood sails that came with the boat. Of these, the high-wind spinster and Storm fox are still in active use.

It was not until 2014 that the boat was fitted with Rullageno. Until 2000, the engine was the original Yanmar YSE 8 (but not the original), but has since been replaced with a more powerful 16hp engine.

At our disposal, Tungu is a passenger boat that has traveled not only the Finnish and Swedish archipelago, but also the Estonian coast, the Gulf of Riga and the Southern Baltic.

Original in Finnish:

Vene tunnetaan Suomen purjehdusurheilun historiassa paremmin alkuperäisen tilaajansa Keijo Petäjän sille antamalla nimellä Marjo 3. Tämä on ensimmäinen Antilla 30 tavaramerkillä valmistunut vene. Se laskettiin vesille 1973.

Eino Antinoja oli valmistanut samaa runkoa jo aikaisemmin tavaramerkillä S&S 6.6. (numero tulee IOR mittaluvusta). Venettä kehitettiin tekemällä siihen kokonaan uusi kansirakenne. Antilla 30:n avotila on suurempi kuin S&S 6.6:ssa, mutta korkeamman ylärakenteen takia sisätila on hieman korkeampi. Veneeseen tehtiin myös muutamia muita teknisiä muutoksia, jotka sallivat samalla mittaluvulla jalan pitemmän maston ja vastaavasti suuremman purjepinta-alan.

Muutokset suunnitteli veneen tilaaja arkkitehti Keijo Petäjä. Omaan veneeseensä hän suunnitteli myös one-off sisustuksen, joka on rakennettu paikalleen mahonkivanerista. Sarjatuotannossa valmistuneissa Antilloissa on useita erilaisia sisustusvariaatioita, mutta useimmat niistä on toteutettu lujitemuovisilla sisämoduuleilla.

Marjo 3 oli Keijo Petäjän kipparoimana aikansa menestyksekkäin suomalainen puolitonnari. Veneessä oli erittäin suuri Hoodin valmistetta oleva purjegarderobi.

Keijo Petäjän kuoleman jälkeen perilliset myivät veneen haminalaiselle merikapteeni Jarkko Kukkoselle. Omistajien nimenomainen toivomus oli, että veneelle tulee antaa uusi nimi ja Kukkonen risti sen Tunguksi. Kukkosen perheeltä Tungu siirtyi 1994 nykyisille omistajilleen Ari ja Vesa Mäkelälle, nyttemmin jo edesmennyt isämme oli aikanaan myös veneen osakkaana.

Vene on läpikäynyt perusteellisen kunnostuksen, mutta sen tyyli ja mahdollisuuksien mukaan myös varustus on edelleen hyvin alkuperäinen.  Siellä missä tekniikkaa on jouduttu uusimaan, olemme pyrkineet mahdollisimman pitkälti säilyttämään tyylin. Alkuperäistä irtaimistoa on runsaasti varastoituna mm. kaikki veneen mukana tulleet alkuperäiset Hood -purjeet. Niistä kovan tuulen spinnu ja myrskyfokka ovat edelleen aktiivikäytössä.

Vasta 2014 veneeseen asennettiin rullagenoa. Moottori oli vuoteen 2000 saakka alkuperäisen mallinen Yanmar YSE 8 (ei kuitenkaan alkuperäinen yksilö), sittemmin se on vaihdettu tehokkaampaan 16 hp koneeseen.

Omassa käytössämme Tungu on matkavene, joka on kiertänyt paitsi Suomen ja Ruotsin saaristoa, myös Eestin rannikkoja, Riianlahtea ja Eteläistä Itämerta.

PENELOPEIA - Antilla 30 Design #2042

Penelopeia (originally sailed under the name “Salka”) is an Antilla 30, manufactured by the Finnish boat builder AA Boats in 1976. She is Sparkman Stephens design # 2042.1 Originally designated for 1/2 ton IOR racing, she is based on the same design as the SHE 31B design #2042. The owner of AA Boats, Mr Eino Antinoja, purchased the rights to the design from brothers Derek and Simon Fitzgerald of South Hants Engineering, having the negotiations at the Thames Royal Yacht Club, purchase price being one hull manufactured by AA Boats. Originally sold as the S&S 6.6 and manufactured by AA Boats between 1971 - 72, the design was later developed into a more family friendly version called the Antilla 30 (1973 - 76). In total approximately 50 Antilla 30’s were manufactured by AA Boat.

Penelopeia has been owned by the current owner since 2007 and cruised mainly on the Gulf of Finland skippered by the owner or our son Lauri. She has the layout of the 4 berth version although in reality this is comfortable for two people. Penelopeia has proved to be safe, strong, seaworthy and in all aspects a reliable boat.

The boat has been painted (marine blue) and also otherwise completely refitted by the previous owner in 2004:

· Sail wardrobe (main sail, genoa and gennaker by WB Sails, Harken Furling System, lazy jacks)

· Engine (Nanni Kubota, 14 hp), ZF HBW gearbox

· Deck equipment (Lewmar/Harken)

· Sprayhood (MP Venekuomu), again renewed 2020

· Instruments (Raytheon ST60)

· Original tiller steering changed into wheel steering (Whitlock Cobra, Navico WP30 Wheel Pilot)

· Chart plotter and DSC VHF radio, both renewed again during last years (Garmin)

· Battery banks (3 x 84 Ah, Invac battery charger, shore power system)

· Heating (Webasto AT 2000)

· Waterheater (Isotemp)

· Top opening cool box (Isotherm SP) and gas stove with oven

· Jabsco marine toilet

PEPPER III designed by legendary Sparkman & Stephens and built by world famous Nautor’s Swan in Finland in 1974. A total of 76 hulls were built. PEPPER III is hull no 65. Most of them are still sailing all over the World. Professionals and skilled sailing enthusiasts fell in love with the model right from the launch in 1972. S&S Swan 44 won the London Boat Show Yacht of the Year award in 1973.

For her first 31 years she sailed in Italy under the name Kratos. In 2006 She was sold to the UK where She sailed under the name Solo. In 2011 she was found in relatively poor but original condition in Southern England. Her current owner sailed her back to his home water in Finland where she has undergone a complete refurbishment. Today PEPPER III is in mint condition and for sure one of the most stunning S&S Swan 44 on Planet. Despite her age and beautiful classic lines, she has an awesome sailing performance and she can be a tough competitor in the race course too! You can spot Her in the Finnish or Swedish archipelago. Homeport is HSS in Helsinki. PEPPER III crew is well known for their team spirit and welcoming hospitality. If the crew is not on board, they are usually hanging at the local bar – together with other nice sailors and people.

Tiger Lilly - Swan 47 Design #2201

The history of Swan 47/066 ”Tiger Lily”, ex. ”Alicadoo” (British flag), ex. ”Seaway Lady” (Swedish flag). Tiger Lily was launched in June 1982. She started her life under the Swedish flag and with the name Seaway Lady, homeport Gothenburg. She was sold already in November 1982 to an owner from Northern Ireland and had to change her name because the name Seaway Lady could not be registered under her new flag. Her new name became Alicadoo.

Between 1983 and 1989 Alicadoo did 6 transatlantic trips with Peter ”Stokey” Woodall as skipper. Her homeport was Vilamoura in Portugal. Alicadoo did also make several trips to the Azores from her homeport. On one of these trips, she became ”famous” as she was part of the filming of the RYA Yachtmaster video nr. 3.

Plans from classicswan.org

In August 1989 Alicadoo was bought by me. Our first sail together was from Vilamoura to Southampton, UK. It was late October so we started a life together with very rough weather. We arrived in Southampton under the Finnish flag and the new name of Tiger Lily. The flag and name were changed outside Cabo Finisterre in a force 10 storm.

During the years I have owned Tiger Lily I have made 6 transatlantic trips from Europe to the Caribbean. One of these was the cruise to celebrate Columbus 500 years since the discovery of the Americas. I have also visited Horta, Azores 4 times. Today, even with more than 130.000 nm on her log, Tiger Lily is in better shape than new after a big refit in 2008-2011.

MARIANNA

MARIANNA

Model: Antilla 36

Year: 1979

Design: #2227.1

Builder: Eino Antinoja

MARIANNA - Anitlla 36

Marianna is presumably the ninth of the twelve boats in the Antilla 36 series built by Eino Antinoja in Inkoo Finland. The specialty of the Antilla 36 series is that the boats are all more or less individual, and none of them is completely in line with the design of the S&S 2227 C1. There is a difference between the drawings, at least for the rudder and the skeg, and especially for the ”spike” in the lower corner of the transom. There are also different variations of the rigging, the original design being a masthead rig. The first Antilla 36 hulls were solid laminate, and Marianna is probably the first to have in addition to the deck also the sides down to the waterline built as a sandwich structure with balsa core. According to heritage, Marianna also had a masthead rig initially, but it came down quite rapidly and was replaced by Seldens fractional 7/8 racing rig with inline spars and running backstays and check stays.

Marianna came into its current fifth owner’s possession in 2011, having been in the same ”family” since 1991. Marianna’s racing character has been tamed over the years, among others with roller furling genoa, full teak interior, and even now with a built-in refrigerator. Therefore the old lady is now slightly overweight with her 5100 kg mass. However, this does not bother as Marianna is nowadays in pure cruising usage, except for the occasional non-serious races of her Yacht Club Sindbad, in which she has still done reasonably well.

Marianna_1-1080x1440.jpg

Marianna has been well cared for and maintained with love over the years, and her structures, with the exception of the rudder repair, have not needed to interfere. In the fall of 2018, the bottom of the boat was glass-blasted, and after new epoxy-coating, it is now ready to sail around for the next 40 years. The sailing fittings have been renewed almost completely, as is the case also with the standing and running rigging. Navigation electronics onboard Marianna are in a state of the art condition, and the original Perkins 49 hp engine has also been replaced with 31 hp Sole.

Marianna_3-1024x577.jpg

Finnish:

S/Y Marianna on Eino Antinojan Inkoossa rakentaman Antilla 36 sarjan tiettävästi yhdeksäs vene kahdestatoista. Antilla 36 sarja on siitä erikoinen, että veneet ovat kaikki enemmän tai vähemmän yksilöitä, eikä yksikään niistä ole täysin S&S piirustusten mukainen design 2227 C1. Eroa piirustuksiin löytyy ainakin peräsimen ja skegin osalta, sekä etenkin peräpeilin alanurkan “pukamasta”. Myös takilasta on erilaisia variaatiota, alkuperäisen suunnitelman ollessa toppirikattu. Alun perin Antilla 36 rungot olivat umpilaminaattia ja Marianna lieneekin ensimmäinen, jossa kannen lisäksi kyljet ovat vesiviivaan asti balsaytimellistä sandwich-rakennetta. Perimätiedon mukaan Mariannassakin oli alun perin toppiriki, joka tuli kuitenkin alas nopeassa tahdissa, ja korvattiin Seldenin 7/8 racing-takilalla suorine saalinkeineen ja tuplabarduunoineen.

Marianna on siirtynyt nykyisille viidensille omistajilleen vuonna 2011 ja on kulkenut jo aiemmin samassa “suvussa” vuodesta 1991 eteenpäin. Mariannan racing-luonnetta on vuosien varrella kesytetty mm. rullagenualla, täydellä jalopuusisustuksella ja nykyään jopa kiinteällä jääkaapilla. Niinpä vanha rouva onkin nykyään hieman ylipainoinen noin 5100 kg:n massallaan. Tämä ei kuitenkaan haittaa, sillä Marianna on puhtaassa matkavenekäytössä satunnaisia Pursiseuransa Sindbadin leikkimielisiä kisoja lukuun ottamatta, joissa se on toki vielä pärjännytkin kohtuullisesti.

Mariannaa on pidetty hyvin ja hoivattu hellästi vuosien saatossa, eikä sen rakenteisiin ole vettyneen peräsimen korjausta lukuun ottamatta tarvinnut pahemmin puuttua. Syksyllä 2018 veneen pohja lasipuhallettiin ja kevään epoksoinnin jälkeen se on taas valmis uusiin purjehduksiin seuraavat 40 vuotta. Purjehdusheloitus on uusittu lähes kokonaan, kuten myös seisova ja juokseva rikikin. Myös navigointielektroniikan osalta Marianna on modernissa iskussa ja alkuperäinen 49 hp Perkins dieselmoottori on saanut väistyä nykyisen 31 hp Solen tieltä.
