EASTER is a beautiful and much loved Buchanan 35' Bermudan Sloop built in 1960. A classic with unusually high 6’4 headroom throughout and built mainly of teak including the hull planking. I’ve owned her for 12yrs and have had many beautiful trips whilst restoring her both inside and out. In 2020 she was upgraded with new Sanders mainsail, genoa and Noble mast and has a replacement Yanmar 3JH4E engine and new electrics.
She is a stunning yacht with strength as well as performance and comfort. She always feels safe, no matter what the weather throws at you due to her solid construction and with her new sails and sleek lines she performs exceptionally well. She is used annually for trips to Brittany, Channel Islands, the West Country and Scilly Isles. With previous owners she has sailed across the Atlantic 3 times.
Easter was built to Lloyds 100A1 (maintained in class until,1982) and has high specification using the very best materials. Alan Buchanan himself said the standard of workmanship and finish by William King was exceptional. Much was written about her when launched in 1960, featured in Yachting World annual. The design is typical Alan Buchanan, who at the time was leading his field with Class 1 yachts. She has a long keel, steeply raked transom stern with transom hung rudder. Planked in teak, all copper fastened to Canadian rockelm closed-spaced timbers and 3.25 ton lead keel and bronze bolts. Fabricated galvanised steel ring frames forward and aft of the mast give extra strength to the coach roof. The deck is solid teak, self draining cockpit with exceptionally large lazerettes, useful for storing; ropes, fenders, outboards, paddle boards, spare fuel, water and many other useful or non-useful things.
Reluctantly selling due to relocating to Southern Europe, where wooden boats don’t fair so well. Price reduced for quick sale.
