My Classic Schooner "Shpountz" is for Sale
By Owner Alexander Morozov

The classic schooner "Shpountz" was designed by famous French designer Daniel Bombigher and built at SOPA boatyard in La Rochelle(France) in 1970. She was the private boat of the designer and his family till 1972, with a total 4 owners until today. She had never been in charter and all her owners were experienced yachtsmen.

"Shpountz"

The hull is made of GRP composite, the deck is 15mm plywood with teak decking 15mm, masts and booms are glued spruce and painted.
Engine Perkins 4.236 80 hp (1986, rebuilt 1988), just about 1500 engine hours for today.
The layout is classic, as "open space", forward V-berth, saloon area with big folding table and 2 berths, quarter with twin berth, separate toilet/shower and galley.
The schooner is in good working condition as per her age, some improvements were made in 2024-25 year.
This stylish schooner is perfect for private use in the Mediterranean or for day charter.
The schooner is sold with great regret due to the owner's health.
The schooner is available for visit in September-October in area of Alicante (Spain). Polish flag, asking price €69,000, offers invited.
