Campbell & Nicholsons has put up for sale a 94-year-old billionaire's custom-built sailing yacht, Sonny III. With a 27.8-meter length and 310 horsepower Cummins QSB diesel engine, the vessel is priced at $5.75 million. In 2021, the yacht underwent a sophisticated refit and received high-performance racing equipment. In 2022, it competed in the prestigious St Barth Bucket Regatta.
The yacht was first launched in 2018. The vessel is operated by a minimal crew thanks to a simple sail control system - all mechanical and navigational elements are located within arm's reach of the helmsman. The Sonny III's sail rig includes carbon fiber rigging manufactured by Offshore Spars and a hydraulic boom mainsail.
It features an oval-shaped cockpit, a flat deck and wide spaces, making it an ideal weekend cruiser for families. The interior is finished in teak. The second cockpit has an alfresco dining area with seating for eight people.
The interior also includes a large sofa and a teak table inlaid with a wind rose and to starboard is a navigation station and galley. Sonny III has three staterooms accommodating up to eight guests.
