2018 Brooklin Boat Yard sloop SONNY III28m

A joint team of professional racers, highly skilled engineers and craftsmen worked on plans for a major upgrade/refit which took place at Brooklin Boat Yard spanning seven (7) months in late 2021. She sailed to Florida in November, and then sailed on to the Caribbean where she participated in the St. Bart Bucket Regatta this past March (2022). She is now back in Florida for a bit and then off to New England for the spring/summer. SONNY has elegant flush decks with broad expanses on 1/2 inch thick solid teak decks. Coupled with her new custom carbon rig, upgraded sails, flush mounted deck hatches, varnished dorade ventilator boxes and magnificent shear-line, she turns heads everywhere she goes.

Now, SONNY is totally outfitted for racing but she also has the ability to be a great weekend cruiser for a family. Her systems are capable of a simple cruising mode but also have racing mode if desired, which makes her one of the most versatile sailing vessels on the water and a true dream boat for the right person.

The interior has top quality equipment and luxurious amenities which afford a comfortable lifestyle while aboard. SONNY has 4 staterooms with a large main salon and fully equipped galley. There is a big dining table and a custom navigation station featuring the latest state of the art equipment and electronics.

Deck Layout
All the way aft on the stern, SONNY has a hydraulic fold down swim platform with a sturdy swim ladder. Up on deck, she has two beautiful handcrafted custom benches mirroring each corner of the aft rails. These are fantastic spots for relaxing while underway and are always a popular place to sit and relax. Just forward are two flush mounted deck hatches which open into a full beam lazarette area which has just been outfitted with custom shelving to assist with organizational control of her loose equipment, parts, and cleaning supplies.

Helm and Guests Cockpit Areas
SONNY has two beautiful oval cockpits handcrafted from the finest teak wood available. The Helm Station Cockpit is aft. and The Guest Cockpit is amidship. Both are protected with multiple custom-made dodgers and Bimini covers for all kinds of weather conditions and extended open ocean deliveries. The Helm Cockpit has all of the sailing controls, electronics and equipment needed to sail the vessel. The Guest Cockpit (forward amidships) is out of the way of the crew and is a safe area to sit when sailing or racing as it is uniquely placed to be out of the way of any hazardous moving parts.

Mid-Deck Area
The Mid-Deck area in front of The Guest Cockpit was set up for safe and efficient sail handling when cruising or racing. There are numerous Harken winches, efficient fairleads for all halyards, and the mainsail control is located here to for efficient setting and furling operations.

Foredeck and Bow
The foredeck area is in front of the mast and elegantly laid out with clean flush deck hatches, wide open teak decks, and stainless dorades for proper cabin ventilation. There is a sail locker all the way forward, windlass winch, dual anchor rollers, and a custom removable pulpit for proper racing sail management.

Interior Layout and Accommodations
The Main Salon is midship and full beam. On the starboard side forward is a beautiful cherry wood oval table with a beautiful compass rose inlay and custom leather seating. On the port side forward is a long built-in settee with leather cushions which stretches aft abutting the back of the navigation station, which faces aft and is equipped with top of the line electronics and other important navigation and communication equipment. Just aft of the nav station is the main electrical panel.

The Galley starboard and just aft of the main salon and dining table. It is equipped with a 240 Volt 4 burner convection cooktop, oven, broiler and microwave. There are (2) twelve volt refrigerators, a 120 volt freezer/ice-maker and an abundance of counter space and cabinet storage. The sink is slightly inboard, with additional counter space and ample cabinet storage as well.

The staterooms will accommodate 6 guests in 3 cabins, each with ensuite bath. The full beam owner stateroom is all the way aft has three access points: There are separate doors from both the port and starboard side below deck, as well as a direct entry from The Helm Cockpit companionway on the aft deck. The layout is wide open with outboard double berth on the port side and a wide built-in chair on the starboard side. The stateroom has a large hanging locker to port, numerous drawers, and cabinets. The owner’s head is forward on the port side, with a walk-in shower and other facilities.

There are three other staterooms which are forward of the main salon. Each has two beds, hanging locker, drawers and a walk in ensuite heads with shower and other facilities. The forward starboard stateroom is equipped with a multi-function display which can monitor the safety and navigation systems on board. An owner preferring to have crew would likely dedicate this double bunk cabin as a captains/crew cabin. The forward port cabin (used as crew quarters) does not have an ensuite head and is serviced by the day head.

REFIT HISTORY
