Sparkman & Stephens 12 Metre Sloop 1938

NORTHERN LIGHT’s pedigree is hard to question – a pre war 12 Metre from the board of Sparkman & Stephens and built by Nevins; her beauty is effortless and so is her charm. She has all the power of a 12 but is somehow less brutal than the later boats yet arguably just as potent. She has been a survivor throughout her 77 years but most dramatically when she was rescued from the bottom of a lake in Michigan in 1984. She spent 2 winters there being put back together before being sailed to Newport in 1986. She is USCG certified for 13 passengers and 3 crew. Realistic offers will be properly considered. Meanwhile lying at Newport Rhode Island, she is well placed for the 2019 12 m World Championship
