Buchanan Sloop

Buchanan Sloop

In 1960 Alan Buchanan was persuaded to design a yacht very similar to his own, also to be built by Priors, for a friend.  SINBAD was the result and she proved even faster than his own! SINBAD’s recent former owner, an experienced yachtsman had her interior sympathetically and cleverly reworked; replaced her sails; and focused on all areas to make her a very usable family cruiser as well as potent classic racer – and succeeded. Under her current ownership SINBAD has wintered for the last 4 years at the Elephant boatyard, who in 2012 also fitted a new teak deck
