Description

A beautiful example of this classic 1974 Sparkman and Stephens Sagitta 35
Constantly maintained and upgraded, Slamat has been used for local club racing, family cruising and deep offshore passage making. Those familiar with the Sagitta design will know that they are fast, seaworthy boats with a history of circumnavigation.
We have owned Slamat since 2016 and have cruised locally, in Ireland, France and all the Atlantic Islands groups. She has proved easy to sail, reliable and resilient, providing all the comforts on passage, at anchor or in a marina. Although not rated, a sister vessel has a great IRC rating and impressive racing history.
Slamat is a fast cruiser, regularly covering 160 miles a day offshore.
There are some photographs of Slamats tracks, showing her range and scope. Most passages were singlehanded.
Slamat is a fast, well-maintained and versatile vessel with strong seakeeping qualities. She has a proven offshore track record and is currently set up for family European sailing but could as easily complete an Atlantic circuit. If that’s the plan, talk to me about additional required items.
Key points
Full underwater epoxy coating (2017)
Wireless onboard network for Nav, AIS and vessel telemetry (2017)
New standing rigging (2023)
Extensive sail wardrobe with new, unused triradial cut Genoa (2024)
Quality, good condition internal upholstery.
