“Spartan” is a gem of a yacht and a rare find in that she is one single owner from new. She has not been raced or rallied hard and is in excellent condition given her age.

The deck layout has evolved to incorporate a highly efficient sail set up with inner and outer jib tracks, self tacking 100% jib and larger over lapper. As with all Rod Johnstone designed boats, she is a joy to sail with the best of the “J-Boat DNA”. This superb yacht just eats up the miles for fast effortless cruising and is a sailors yacht.

“Spartan” has been maintained for offshore cruising over the years and the Volvo D2 diesel and Saildrive are replacements installed about 7 years ago. The old antifouling was blasted off in 2023 and repainted anew.

Berthed afloat at Bucklers Hard in the Beaulieu River, viewings are easy to arrange and this lovely yacht will not disappoint.

Owners Comments

Owners Comments"Spartan" has been used for short handed long distance sailing going three times down to the Canaries, three times out to the Azores, a circuit of the Mediterranean, Ireland, Scotland etc. and basically her fitout reflects that. She had had no insurance claims during her lifetime and has only sailed a handful of low key races which, in the main, she won. She has been an excellent yacht which I have owned from new, but the time has sadly come to pass her on to a new owner who can realise her potential for new adventures.
