Sloop

SHOW ME is a fine yacht that has been professionally maintained by the same hands for the past 30 years but the time has come for the family to move on. She has seen world adventure cruising before it was popular and has countless stories to tell; from being the start boat for the 1986 Americas Cup in Fremantal Australia to raising a family of young sailors and touching the lives of many around the world. She patiently waits, a time capsule, eager to be found and released into a new adventure.

Deck Layout and hull

SHOW ME has the typical deck layout for a boat of her generation. Her teak decks were hand laid and glued down with remarkable life left for years to come. Beginning forward, she has a large forepeak storage locker and three 20# propane bottles. Slightly aft and offset to the starboard side is the anchor windlass locker. Centerline on deck are the electric windlass operation switches, the baby stay and large forward hatch into to the storage below. Flanking the side decks are the dual spinnaker poles, traditional Swan brushed aluminum toe rail and lifelines. The vast deck is divided into the next section at the mast. Here, six self tailing winches and numerous fairleads move halyards aft to the working cockpit. Under the boom vang a square hatch is mounted just forward of the liferaft mounting pad. The large companionway hatch is next aft at the forward end of the working cockpit. Six more winches are here for primary and secondary winches. On the bridge deck just at the aft end of the boom are two coffee grinders to operate the winches and quickly accomplish maneuvers. Aft from there is the traveler, runner winches, main sheet winches and the aft cockpit.

SHOW ME was recently hauled out at CSR boatyard for new Sea Hawk BioCop antifouling bottom paint and Propspeed on the running gear. Her traditional swan hull form is proven. With her fin keel and skeg hung rudder she is a no nonsense machine.
