1972 Allied 42 XL
The Allied series of vessels has the reputation of being built to take on anything the waterways can produce. She is built to a different standard and can be brought back to her premier status with a bit of work. "Breathless" has spent the last few years traversing the Great Lakes and is currently stored inside. She is still a strong and viable contender. Why not? Come take a look!
1965 Allied Seabreeze
The 35´ Allied Seabreeze K/CB Yawl was designed by Frank MacLear and Bob Harris, who worked for, and were heavily influenced by, Sparkman & Stephens, the creators of the “Finisterre” yawl. This is a smaller copy of the yacht Finisterre (39') that won the Newport to Bermuda race several times. Stone Soup is a full keel with cut away fore foot and rudder attached to the trailing edge of the keel. She also has a 550 pound bronze centerboard for directional stability going to windward.
From Allied Boat Company in Catskill, NY, a past well known quality builder, she is the Seabreeze Yawl. She is a classic from years past and presents herself well. There were 135 Seabreeze hulls built between 1963-1972. Their fiberglass construction is known for being overbuilt, and they have a fine reputation as a fast and comfortable sailboat. Please review the long list of upgrades and improvements.
Stone Soup has been completely spray painted - hull, deck and cabin top - with Sterling two-part linear polyurethane. This is an Awl-Grip type of paint that does not require waxing. She is as near to turn-key as you will get in an older classic. Newer Yanmar diesel engine. All plumbing, through hull fittings, seacocks and hoses were replaced. All newer wiring. Newer rigging. Deck re-cored where needed and all appears to be structurally sound. New condition North Sails. Feathering three blade propeller, for faster sailing.
She has been in inside storage and covered, since the fall of 2008 and she is ready to go sailing again.
Please call for your inspection of this American Classic. You will not be disappointed in Stone Soup. Thank you for your interest!
