1957 Sparkman & Stephens Centerboard Yawl
39 ft Sparkman & Stephens centerboard auxiliary yawl, 1957, for sale in Branford, Connecticut. “Delight” is a classic early S&S design, double planked mahogany and cedar on white oak frames with bronze floors. “Delight” has an impressive pedigree, featured in National Geographic’s August 1969 issue, “Sailing Iceland’s rugged coast, she had an appetite for cruising Northern Atlantic waters. Wright Britton was awarded the CCA Bluewater medal for his voyage in “Delight”, double handed to Greenland and back in 1965. He earned the CCA John Parkinson award for transoceanic voyages in 1967 and again in 1970. “Delight” is a lovely S&S design and Luke build, one of the true classics of the post war era.
This is a rare opportunity to own and sail and love one of the true modern classic wood boats that exemplifies the values and traditions of the age just before fiberglass. “Delight” is in good shape but needs refitting and some basic work. She is a perfect candidate for a conservation project where the desired result it a classic pedigreed wood yacht to sail and enjoy.
