Owner's Comment
Available manualsMonitor Windvane Self Steering gear made by ScanMar Marine Products of CaliforniaIsotherm 4200 seawater-cooled fridge unitAquair generatorICOM IC-M600 SSB RadioAT-120 HF Automatic Antenna TunerOwner's CommentsSheet Lightning has been jointly owned since new. She is now solely owned by one of the two original owners. They sailed Sheet Lightning around the world as part of the Tradewinds Rally from 1995 to 1997 hence all the additional gear on board e.g. the Twin headsail rig and poles, Monitor self steering gear, connections for Seafresh Watermaker, space for 2 more batteries etc Sea anchor/drogue, in-car radio cassette player. She is Lloyds Register Hull Construction Certificate number SOU 116028/1. They had new instruments fitted in June 2019. Documentation shows ST4000 commissioned 5th June, the rest 18th June 2019. Instruments have had minimal use.
