{"product_id":"starry-night","title":"Starry Night","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStarry Night\u003c\/em\u003e is a very special 1985 Sweden Yachts 36. Meticulously equipped and maintained since new, she has been cruised offshore extensively on the east and west coasts of the U.S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Peter Norlin and Nils Ostmann, the Sweden 36 features the outstanding sailing qualities of designs of that time. The stern is wider than most boats of that era, enabling good control and speed downwind and room for a spacious aft cabin. The general shape and rig lend themselves to excellent performance to windward and good static stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStarry Night\u003c\/em\u003e’s first owner equipped her with the extremely practical stern arch and sailed her up and down the east coast every winter to the Caribbean. Her current owner has upgraded the yacht in virtually every way, taking no shortcuts. He sailed her up and down the west coast including participating in the Baja Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior is in excellent condition for its age, with few scars from the many miles under her keel. The upholstery is in great shape, as are the wood surfaces. The biggest changes from stock are a modern electrical panel and screen, and the port aft berth has been converted into a practical storage area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStarry Night’s\u003c\/em\u003e deck layout has been perfected for shorthanded sailing. The headsail furler and mainsheet are led to the helmsman’s position, and the sails themselves are very recent top of the line North Sails from the Portland, Oregon loft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a well sorted out, high quality cruiser. She has been equipped and maintained for serious offshore cruising and wants for nothing. \u003cb\u003eInterior Accommodations\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cem\u003eStarry Night\u003c\/em\u003e’s interior is accessed via the \u003cstrong\u003ecompanionway\u003c\/strong\u003e.  An extra tall Iverson cockpit dodger and seat level bridgedeck allow the companionway to remain open in all but the stormiest weather.  A smoked acrylic slider and removable drop washboard close the companionway.  Teak-colored Treadmaster provides secure footing on 4 ladder steps.  The top two steps hinge up for engine access while the bottom two are mounted on the engine cover.  Integral handholds are on either side of the ladder.Once below, its immediately obvious that this a top-quality yacht. Only a small handful of the world’s builders carefully execute construction to this level.  The \u003cstrong\u003einterior\u003c\/strong\u003e is crafted from African Mahogany, satin varnished and fully glassed and tabbed hull and deck intersection.  Bent laminations of solid wood trim out partial bulkheads, door openings, countertops (fiddles) and settee ends. Extensive solid Mahogany and Mahogany-faced marine plywood provides a durability and strength; explaining why this boat shows like a much newer vessel than its age.  The overhead is padded white vinyl panels with screwed-in Mahogany longitudinal 1-1\/2” wide battens. Oceanaire blinds are fitted to cabin side ports. The overhead forward hatch is fitted with blackout slider Directional reading lights are all LED.  The cabin sole is teak and holy plywood; screwed atop the fiberglass floor grid inside of the furniture (settees, bunks, cabinets) making it fully removable for access to bilges and systems while allowing any rain or seawater to make its way to the bilge instead of sitting and damaging interior joinery.  Cabinet door elbow catches are reached through finger holes with similar finger hole drawer pulls: no protruding latches.  Upholstery is blue ultrasuede and in very good condition.  Grab rails are fitted above the salon settees with other functional handholds incorporated throughout the interior for safe movement underway.Starting forward and entered through a locking privacy door to port of centerline in the main bulkhead is the \u003cstrong\u003eforward stateroom.\u003c\/strong\u003e   Headroom measures 6’ 1”.  The bunk can be used as an offset double measuring 6’ 6” long x 18” forward x 40” aft or with an infill cushion and board bringing width aft to 6’ 6”.  The fitted spring mattress is very comfortable. A 41” x 25” hinged opening lid below the bunk accesses a huge storage bin; ideal for extra sails and other bulky gear.  The infill board is mounted on chocks in this lid.  A 14” x 20” dressing seat is to port with a 41” long double door hanging locker further aft.  The forward door swings athwartship providing a level of privacy to the forward bunk when others are using the head.   Louvers are incorporated into the cabinet door tops for ventilation.  Five wire slide-out baskets are fitted in the aft half of this locker.  8” wide open shelves run along the hull sides below the deck edge along the V-berth; making use of space high up in the flared bow.Force 10 propane two burner oven\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eXintex S1-A propane solenoid control\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSea Frost 12v DC refrigeration system (2016)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGold Star microwave\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew Corian galley countertops, sinks and faucet (2016)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLED Lighting throughout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBar light above hanging lockers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBar light in head\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOceanair salon blinds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLarge overhead hatch (replaced 2014)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOceanair bug screen\/shade for forward cabin hatch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSamsung TV on salon bulkhead\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDometic electric head with 28 gallon holding tank\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics and Navigation\u003c\/b\u003e The electronics package has been recently updated, and is geared toward singlehanded sailing. The Raymarine ST6001 autopilot control is paired with an B\u0026amp;G autopilot ram that is immediately accessible in the aft locker, and the control is at the helm. B\u0026amp;G integration is second to none and includes radar, and a multi display at the navigation station.Lopolight LED running lights\u003cem\u003eAt cockpit:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(2) Bose cockpit speakers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRaymarine ST6001 autopilot control with B\u0026amp;G hydraulic drive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlastimo Olympic 135 binnacle compass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eB\u0026amp;G Zeus 2 radar\/chartplotter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eB\u0026amp;G multi display\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eB\u0026amp;G radar antenna on arch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRaymarine ST60 Wind display\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIcom HM195B ram mic for VHF radio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAt navigation station:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFusion stereo receiver (2020)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(2) West Marine speakers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eB\u0026amp;G multi display\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIcom IC-M506 VHF radio (2020)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRitchie compass at salon table\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeems and Plath clock and barometer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComputer monitor to be used with laptop at nav station\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectrical Systems\u003c\/b\u003e The electrical system is completely up to date, both on the AC and DC sides.
