The interior of SUMURUN is beautifully fitted out in English Oak panelling, raised and fielded, with much attention to detail. Most of this is original, what is more recent has been carefully replicated. The saloon is a masterpiece, with a dining table, sofa and three chairs, seating six comfortably. With its writing desk, bar, bookcases, china cabinet with cutlery drawers, the overall impression is of early 20th century excellence. There is also a well-stocked Trophy cabinet! |

SUMURUN is a yacht that is constantly and expertly maintained, usually by Wayfarer Marine, Maine, and the crew. She is Lloyds 100A1, and as part of this ongoing process many fasteners have been replaced over the years, always in silicone bronze. 6 keel bolts were replaced in 2011, although the original ones were almost perfect after 97 years! |
In 2004 a new teak deck was fitted by Teak Deck Systems, consisting of 2 layers of marine plywood (12mm and 18mm) covered in 20mm of teak. At this time nearly all the deck beams were replaced in laminated Iroko. |
The deck was re-caulked in 2014/15. |
In 2011 seven double oak frames were replaced amidships, N°s 21 to 28. Silicon bronze dumps and bolts have been used throughout. |
The refrigeration system and its insulation were renewed in 2015. |
Even before SUMURUN slid into Scotland’s Firth of Clyde on May 7, 1914, she was destined to become an aristocrat among yachts. |
Commissioned by a beautiful and flamboyant baroness as a gift to her husband, named for an exotic harem girl, designed and built by a legendary Scottish yard that served many members of Europe’s royalty, and hailed as one of the swiftest and most beautiful yachts afloat, SUMURUN’s story is filled with vivid personalities, a multitude of racing victories, and a serene elegance that has transcended the vagaries of over a century on the water. It is no wonder that those who love classic yachts the world over have a special affection for her. |
