Sparkman & Stephens Sloop

Thanks to a wonderful new owner, the decision was made to restore the ex "Windhound" to better than new condition. The boat has undergone a keel up transformation into a shining example of how you can take a classic and make it even better.

The aluminum hull was fully gone over and any needed repairs made. Then the hull was fully faired and painted in its original white color. The deckhouse and deck were removed and a complete new deck and deckhouse were put in. The new deck now has laid teak over the entire deck, including the cockpit. The engine is a Yanmar with approximately 40 hours run time. The plumbing has been redone as well as the electrical system. The original spar has been replaced with a taller and lighter mast.  The winches have been replaced and upgraded. Windhound has  new North Sails;  mainsail, roller furling genoa and asymmetrical cruising spinnaker. The list of equipment upgrades, replacements and new are too many to list here.

The interior has been fully varnished and updated. A modification has been made to the starboard settee to turn it into a u-shaped dinning area. This makes the interior of the boat much more user friendly. The head has been enlarged and refit, including a shower and a stone countertop to add some elegance. A new forward facing nav station has been added
as well.

There are still some choices to be made in the final stages of completion such as the instrument package and some other items.

The new and improved "Windhound" is now available for sale to the next owner who will enjoy the wonderful benefit of this great restoration and improvement of the original boat. She is as close to a new boat as you can get and in many ways is much better than "Windhound" was when she was first launched.
