LUN II

1914 - 20.76 m - AB Yachts - 295 000

Overview


LUN II was built for fishing in 1914 near Ålesund in Norway, she completed her initial career in 1976 with a significant refit at a shipyard, with changes to the engine and lengthening and widening modifications to the hull in 1956. This was common practice at the time, as it was less expensive than building from scratch. Acquired by her fourth owner in 1979, she was refurbished at the Ring Andersen shipyard in Denmark with a 14-year full refit to exact Norwegian and Germanischer Lloyd Standart. In 1996, she sailed to Ensenada in Mexico where she became a floating home for her owner, his wife and dogs.

The last owner bought her in 2015, with the intention of turning her into a sailing cargo ship. Significant carpentry and engine work was carried out in 2016/2017 for this purpose. Several expeditions have been successfully completed since, with over 100 tonnes of cargo shipped across the Atlantic and a polar expedition in 2018/19.

Main features


There are spares for most things, from rigging (blocks, belaying pins, shackles and ropes), pumps, etc. There is also a complete replacement for the manual bilge pump membrane out of leather. But, for a serious cruise, many additional spares need to be acquired. Special or heavy tools will come with LUN II.
Very good quality Bruce anchor and the 150 m of 16 mm chain is still well protected by the galvanisation.
Shower/Room head comes with an AirHead brand dry toilette, up to bacteriologic contents regulations. 
There is a very simple 12V system that is charged from land, the motor or solar panels. The lamps inside are old bronze lamps installed on LUN II when she was bought but then converted to LED bulbs.


The deck was completely renewed: deck beams are made from real pitch pine, except for 2 deck beams made out of oak in the motor room.
