Sumurun Yacht For Sale

Originally launched as a gaff rigged yawl and later adapted to become a Bermudan rigged ketch, SUMURUN yacht is much loved by classic yacht enthusiasts due to her elegant aesthetic and her swiftness on the water.

SUMURUN had a succession of high-society Owners for the first 60 years of her life before being bought by an NYYC member, and this former SUMURUN yacht owner raced her hard on both sides of the Atlantic, regularly maintaining her.

SUMURUN sailing yacht was a regular contender on the regatta scene from 1989 to 2015. In 2016, SUMURUN yacht changed hands and under her new Owner she underwent an extensive multi-million Euro rebuild at the Chantier du Guip yard in Brittany, which saw her rig redesigned by Juan Kouyoumdjian and new spars added by Pasqui of Villefranche-sur-Mer, as well as structural improvements.

After a few years away from the regatta circuit she returned to the Mediterranean regatta scene in 2019 just in time to win her class at Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez.
