{"product_id":"sparkman-stephens-57-lightning","title":"Sparkman \u0026 Stephens 57 - LIGHTNING","description":"\u003cp id=\"isPasted\"\u003eLIGHTNING is a fine example of a classic Sparkman \u0026amp; Stephens yacht. Designed by S\u0026amp;S and built in 1970 by Stephens Marine in Stockton, California, she has the clean lines, balanced proportions and purposeful character that have made these yachts enduring classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt in aluminum with a deep fin keel, tall bulwarks and a traditional deck layout, LIGHTNING combines a practical offshore character with the beauty of a well-proportioned classic yacht. Her interior follows the same tradition, with painted bulkheads, mahogany trim, teak-and-holly soles and period details throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLIGHTNING has been particularly well cared for over the years, retaining much of her original character while benefiting from ongoing maintenance and improvements. Her history is closely tied to Stephens Marine and West Coast sailing. Originally owned by Theo and Barre Stephens, she won her class at the St. Francis Yacht Club Big Boat Series in 1970 and 1971. She came to the Pacific Northwest in 1980 with John Woodley and has remained within the Woodley\/Milne family ever since. Over more than four decades, the family has preserved LIGHTNING as both a capable sailing yacht and an important part of their family history, with her racing career gradually giving way to family cruising. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swiftsure Yachts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48110072037539,"sku":null,"price":399000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6271\/5299\/files\/IMG_3714.jpg?v=1789067662","url":"https:\/\/swiftsureyachts.com\/products\/sparkman-stephens-57-lightning","provider":"Swiftsure Yachts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
