Hello, here I have my 1924 R Class racing sloop. The boat is in great shape and ready to sail and sail he does, she is fast! The boat is super responsive and fun to sail. former name of boat is Fantome R18. The boat comes with two mail sheets, standard and racing sheet. there is one 100% jib, 125 Genoa and 155 Genoa, also two spinnaker sails. The boat also comes with a custom cradle and an aluminum mast. Here is some info on the boat and equipment. The only reason I want to sell the boat is due to some family changes I need a cruiser sail boat not a racer. So I really don't want to have two sail boats right now will have to sell my racer. I also have a recent survey available upon request from summer 2015.Fantome R18 Universal Rule R Class Sloop Design No 265 by Burgess Swasey & Paine was built by Anker & Jensen at Christiana Norway in 1924 for W.C.Morrison who sailed her a couple of seasons on Long island Sound and Massachusetts Bay.
