SUMURUN TODAY
Sumurun remains equally at home sailing to weather in the cascading, wind-driven spray of a racecourse, running downwind in the more genteel environment of a relaxing cruise, and lying at anchor in idyllic locations.
Her sheer beauty, elegance, and Bristol condition also continue to win Sumurun trophies in Concours d’Elegance competitions throughout the world, including those at recent regattas in Porto Cervo, Sardinia; and Antigua. She was also awarded the Thomas Benson Award for Restoration at the 1992 Museum of Yachting Regatta in Newport, Rhode Island.
She often spends her winters in the Caribbean and summers in the waters of New England. From time to time she also sails to the Mediterranean and her home waters of Great Britain.
Wherever Sumurun goes, she inspires yachtsmen’s admiration and affection - as a jewel from the grand age of yachting, as a powerful racer that still shows her stern to most competitors, and as a perfectly kept vessel that brings credit to her owner and a memorable sailing experience to her guests.
The 1914 Yachtsman article concludes that “… so perfectly has she been put together that she looks as if she should, bar accidents, wear for, well, say a hundred years.”
In just as good — if not better — shape today as she was the day she was christened, Sumurun is well on her way to fulfilling that prophesy and more.
