EASTER is a beautiful and much loved Buchanan 35' Bermudan Sloop built in 1960. A classic with unusually high 6’4 headroom throughout and built mainly of teak including the hull planking. I’ve owned her for 12yrs and have had many beautiful trips whilst restoring her both inside and out.

She is also faster and more capable than a Sparkman and Stephens Concordia, or a 40' McGruer, Sangermani, Holman, Hinckley or Cheoy Lee. https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/bounty-ii Since buying her in Hawai'i 18 years ago, we have spent over £150,000 on her, replacing her standing rigging, main and genoa, all of her electrics, navigation (Raymarine) and... read more
