New Listing – Ancasta Surprise 58 ‘Shoran III’

Friday 25th January 2019

Described by the agent when in production as ‘Seagoing opulence’, its easy to see where the inspiration came from. The Ancastsa 58 Surprise would have been the equivalent of a small superyacht at the time of her build.

On deck SHORAN III has been optimised for short-handed sailing. The addition of the alloy fabricated pilothouse; with secondary internal helm are ideally suited to cruising in northern climes. Below decks, she offers sumptuous accommodation for four. With two grand cabins at either end of the boat. A huge open plan saloon with two separate seating areas is ideal for spending long periods aboard.

Extensively re-fitted during the current ownership. She boasts an extensive inventory, highlights including:

• Standing rigging replaced in 2010.
• Electric furling genoa and staysail.
• Hydraulic in-mast furling mainsail.
• Self-tacking staysail system.
• Mermaid Marine Ford Melody II engine fitted new 2005.
• Fisher Panda 6.5kva generator fitted new 2005.
• SidePower hydraulic bowthruster fitted new 2011.
• Dual Raymarine plotter and radar systems.

Constructed using the finest of materials she has worn very well. Now a very attractive proposition as live aboard or comfortable high latitude cruiser. The current owner has built redundancy into her major systems where possible including:

• Two independent manual steering systems.
• Two independent autopilot systems.
• Two independent radar systems aboard.
• Twin anchor windlass’s with both anchors self-stowing.
