A truly stunning classic yacht, "Sylvena" is a Herreshoff 38 sloop, built by W L Homes and Co. In Sydney in 1955 and launched in 1956 at Lavender Bay.
"Sylvena" has competed in three Sydney Hobarts, 1959,1961 and 1968 and is a regular in the Sydney Classic Regattas. Spending the majority of her life in NSW, she had a 15 year period based in Tasmania but was more recently returned to her Sydney Harbour base by her current owners.
Now rigged with an aluminium mast, she retains the original timber boom with hull made from Oregon planking over spotted gum frames.
She was repowered in 2013 and has had significant work in recent years with the cabin, cockpit and bright-work painted in September 2019 / Hull sprayed in September 2019 / Standing Rigging replaced 2016 / new Norths 3Di Nordac mainsail and #1 headsail (Nov 2019).
She is a beautifully maintained vessel retaining all of her classic charm internally and externally.
New Antifoul December 2020 and a survey dated January 2017 is available on request.
"Sylvena" is your chance to own a truly classic Sydney Harbour yacht, contact Jay McEvoy at Flagstaff Marine for further details or to arrange an inspection.
