s/v OmurambaA Swan 43, designed By Sparkman and Stevens in New York and built by Nautor in 1972 in a yard just short of the Arctic Circle, in Jakobstad (Pietarsaari), Finland. This pic was taken with the previous owner (Brent Sender) on board just off Cape Town before I had ever seen the boat. I bought her, raced her for a year, sailed her to the Caribbean, New York and back several times and finally sold her in the Islands. She had devloped the most terrible osmosis. The new owner had the facilites in Florida and was cofidant he could fix her. I had tried with a yard in Connecticutt, at great cost, and the fix had failed. |
