    Sails And Rigging

    In 2011, Sea Angel's original stowaway rig was replaced with a more modern arrangement. She now has a standard (and lighter weight) Sparcraft aluminum spar with a Betts carbon fiber pocket boom. This system allows for a fully battened mainsail, vastly improving her sailing characteristics. In addition, it is jam-proof and keeps the weight lower and closer to the center of gravity. The pocket boom will "catch" the mainsail beautifully making reefing or dropping the main easier on the crew. And raising the main is done with hydraulic winches.

    • (2011) Doyle Fully Battened Main. Serviced and reinforced in 2017 by North Sails

    Remarks

    A strong, beautiful, and classic Sparkman & Stephens sailing yacht, Sea Angel is a unique world cruiser. Sea Angel (Sparkman & Stephens design number 2455), built at Stephens Marine in California, was one of the groundbreaking motorsailer ketches designed in the 1980's. With accommodations for 6 - 8 owners and guests, and 4 - 6 crew, she can handle a large family and many guests with ease.

    In 2011, her rig was modernized to employ a carbon fiber "pocket boom".  With the hydraulic halyard winch, raising and lowering the main is almost effortless. This improvement allowed for a fully battened mainsail and a reduction of weight aloft, while eliminating the chance of a fouled in-mast mainsail. Moreover, her sailing characteristics were greatly improved by this upgrade in mainsail size and shape.

    Sea Angel enjoys constant maintenance by her very knowledgeable owners. She is ready to leave on her next adventure! New bottom Epoxy Barrier Coat & New Bottom Paint (July 2023)
