Known History
We bought SULYA in 1989 at the Ardfern yacht centre which is on the West coast of Scotland. She had been laid up for two years and she was in a neglected state. We substantially restored her and have sailed SULYA on the West coast ever since.
She comes home to Inverness every so often for the usual maintenance. She is currently in our boat shed near Inverness. She had a survey completed in 2011 which valued her at £20,000.
September 2018: We have an update that SULYA is sailing well but the engine has failed and is being replaced
