Description

SURPRISE has been extensively upgraded and professionally prepared for a solo, nonstop circumnavigation, making her exceptionally well equipped for serious offshore and bluewater sailing. At the same time, she is an ideal yacht for a couple seeking a safe, comfortable and capable cruising boat to sail anywhere in the world or to enjoy as a liveaboard.
Her comprehensive major refit was completed in July 2026, with particular attention given to reliability, safety, self-sufficiency and short-handed operation.
Recent upgrades and major service work include new seacocks; new propeller shaft and shaft seal; serviced Max-Prop, new zincs and line cutter; seven coats of Sea Hawk antifouling; new rudder seal and bearing; new transmission; new standing and running rigging; new sails; new walkable solar panels; new wind generator; new dodger and bimini; rebuilt Hydrovane self-steering system; new Spade anchor with 300 ft. of new anchor chain; rebuilt Schaefer headsail furling systems; rebuilt Spectra watermaker; and serviced Edson steering system, among numerous other improvements.
With her extensive recent refit and equipment selected for demanding offshore use, SURPRISE offers a rare opportunity for a new owner to acquire a proven bluewater yacht that has already been carefully prepared for extended, self-sufficient ocean voyaging.
