Laurent Giles Wanderer Iii Sloop Cutter - SOLANA III

A nearly new yacht built by local craftsmen in the International Boat building Training College in Lowestoft, UK under the supervision of Barry Van Geffen of Laurent Giles Naval Design firm and completed in 2010.

Solana III was imported from Europe to the USA in July 2014, all import duties paid and is registered in Maryland. She lays in Oxford, MD.

This yacht is a replica (with some modifications – added bowsprit; modified cabin top) of the Hiscocks’ Wanderer III. The Hiscocks were the first couple to make two circumnavigations in the 1950s and wrote many books on their cruises. Their original Wanderer III is still sailing strong after 300,000 miles
