David Boyd 42 Ft 8 Metre Sloop

SUNBURST is notable as the most successful of 8 Metre Cruiser yachts, some 20 of which were built and raced mainly in Scottish waters but some in the South. Such was her prowess in winning all the class prizes; she effectively became the class breaker; her former competitors retreating to race under IOR.

This yacht has been maintained as close to her original specification as possible having benefitted from a long and careful ownership, currently of 33 years. There is no mistaking her hull form and so in the right hands will not disappoint at classic events. With her deep cockpit and spacious well appointed interior – belittling the cruiser racers of today, she’s an impressive all rounder - definitely a class act !
