1987 GRP TWIN KEEL SADLER 34' Due to family commitments We're reluctantly selling our much loved 1987 Sadler 34 Twin Keel. A beautiful sea kindly yacht. We are the second owners from new. Currently ashore being prepared for the coming season. Normally based on the River Orwell in Suffolk.
She can be delivered anywhere if needs be (delivery skipper can be arranged at additional cost). Designed and built by Martin & David Sadler. Her GRP hull is twin skinned, the outer being the thickness of a conventional hull of that period and the inner is slightly thinner. The gap between the two is packed with high density (closed cell) polyurethane foam, which not only gives her massive buoyancy to the point of being unsinkable, but also keeps her accommodation warm and condensation free, thanks to the insulating effect. Her twin keels work well in any sea state and provide the benefit of being able to creek crawl and take the ground if the need arises.
She has a fairly generous masthead sail plan, with a slab reefed mainsail and 150% furling genoa. All sails valeted in late 2016 and new UV strip on the genoa at the same time. The single spreader, deck stepped mast has a baby stay and backstay adjuster. All sail control lines are back to Lewmar winches on the coachhouse and in the cockpit area. The boom ends only a few inches aft of the bridgedeck, considerably reducing the chance of a head injury.
The boom has both lazy jacks and a stack pack to ensure the mainsail is stored in the best condition. All sails including the spare mainsail and cruising shute, plus the cushions etc. Have been stored ashore for the winter to ensure their condition. The engine has been winterised whilst storing her ashore this past winter. Her saloon is warm and cosy with a traditional layout.
The table is slightly offset to port and has a drop down leaf on each side, allowing six to eat comfortably. Full length grab rails and handy upright pillars allow for good handholds whilst at sea. There is a separate aft cabin with a smallish double or grand single. The V berth in the forepeak is a very generous size with 6 ft headroom and over 7ft long bedding. A full size chart table is to starboard.
On the port side is a U shaped galley which is ideal for use at sea. Everything is within easy reach to the cook. A portlight and vent above, give an airy feel to the galley. 35 HP Beta Marine diesel shaft driven engine (installed 2009-2010) with around 600 hours from new. The engine has seen proper and regular maintenance.
