Description

1978 She 36 “WATER BEAR” — Classic S&S Performance Cruiser, Copper-Coated and Refit. WATER BEAR is a prized She 36 by Sparkman & Stephens design #2166. Built in 1978 by South Hants Engineering, she shows the poise and pace that made this model a legend. Her lines are elegant. Her manners offshore inspire confidence. The GRP hull was epoxied and copper coated in 2024 for low-maintenance cruising. Teak decks and a lead keel underscore strength and seaworthiness. Fresh anti-slip paint in 2025 keeps decks secure and smart.
