February 14.2008: 30sqm Seefahrtkreuzer „Suna“ III28 for sale:
Suna was built as „Aegir“ by Abeking & Rasmussen of Lemwerder in 1936 (Build.no.3005). Size and dimensions are typical of the class and yard. She is one of the “Windfall” Yachts that were brought to the UK after the war.
Chris Claydon is currently the majority shareholder in Suna. He no longer has enough time available to manage her and is looking for someone to take on a majority share or buy the boat.
Suna is currently afloat in Liverpool , UK and can be sailed in light weather. She needs a number of frames and a couple of planks to be replaced in order to be fully seaworthy, plus various smaller jobs. She also needs a new interior but is otherwise well equipped and ready to sail.
