SUMURUN for sale

SUMURUN sailing yacht is a classic 35m yacht from the legendary William Fife & Sons’ yard on the Clyde, who once served members of European royalty.

With a history as romantic as her profile, Scottish-built SUMURUN launched in 1914 as an extravagant gift from a baroness to her husband and has since travelled the world, proving her prowess from the Med to the Caribbean. Her good looks belie the vagaries of over a century on the water.

Exterior Design & Engineering

Originally launched as a gaff rigged yawl and later adapted to become a Bermudan rigged ketch, SUMURUN yacht is much loved by classic yacht enthusiasts due to her elegant aesthetic and her swiftness on the water.

SUMURUN had a succession of high-society Owners for the first 60 years of her life before being bought by an NYYC member, and this former SUMURUN yacht owner raced her hard on both sides of the Atlantic, regularly maintaining her.

SUMURUN sailing yacht was a regular contender on the regatta scene from 1989 to 2015. In 2016, SUMURUN yacht changed hands and under her new Owner she underwent an extensive multi-million Euro rebuild at the Chantier du Guip yard in Brittany, which saw her rig redesigned by Juan Kouyoumdjian and new spars added by Pasqui of Villefranche-sur-Mer, as well as structural improvements.

After a few years away from the regatta circuit she returned to the Mediterranean regatta scene in 2019 just in time to win her class at Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez.

With assisted power from a 249hp Cummins 6BTA engine, SUMURUN yacht has a top speed of 9.5 knots and cruises at 7.5 knots.
