Sparkman & Stephens 33 for sale by Rifkin Yachts

Poppy" is a true work of art, a perfect mix of beauty and excellent sailing performance. Originally designed and constructed in Denmark for the current owner's father, she has been lovingly maintained to the highest standards. No expense has been spared, from her perfect mahogany finishes to her power winches and electronics. Between spending her summers day sailing in Newport RI she has received meticulous care at the best yards in Maine so that every aspect of the boat sparkles.
Sparkman and Stevens designed and built a boat that combined the beauty of a six metre with a functional interior. The concept was a huge success. "Poppy" is easy to sail and so enjoyable that when offered his pick of the fleet in 2003, Olin Stephens chose to sail her in the S&S regatta in Maine. She truly stands out from the crowd in any harbor, when she pulls into a slip seasoned boat builders and sailing enthusiasts alike come down to the docks to admire her.
Her Danish builder, Paul Molich, ranked among the world's top builders of wooden boats. Her teak-planked deck and her stained and varnished topsides accentuate her classic lines. A favorite at the S&S Rendezvous at Mystic Connecticut, she became the design inspiration for the Morris 36 daysailer. The current owner had a complete refit to allow her to be sailed more easily, providing power winches for halyards and sheets, and upgrading interior amenities for day sailing and cruising.
A 2001 profile in Maine Boats and Harbors named her as "The Prettiest Sloop in the World."
