Theodora
45.25 ft' Sparkman & Stephens S&S 45 2010
$ 487,000
Theodora is not just another S&S design, she is what many consider one of the finest designs born from none other than Olin Stephens himself. Originally designed as S/V Revonoc #602, Theodora's hull lines remained unchanged, preserving her original performance characteristics. But to enable short-handed sailing, her sail plan and interior were adjusted slightly to meet modern day convenience. She sails very well in light air and can make 9 kts of speed with only 15kts of wind. Comfortable, solid, stiff, and balanced, this design is timeless and perfect for the discriminating yachtsman who enjoys standing out in a classic regatta or privately gunk-holing in anchorages anywhere in the world. Currently in Northport, MI, Theodora is comfortably nestled in her winter storage building but little needs doing for her Spring launch 2025.

S/V Theodora was launched in 2010 by Ian Franklin Boatbuilders Ltd of Christchurch, NZ. Built of Kauri Pine timber, she is extremely rot-resistant yet stunning in appearance. A clear winning combination of classic S&S lines but built using modern cold-molded construction methods. Sailed mainly in beautiful Queen Charlotte Sound, NZ for her first 3 years, in 2013 she sailed to the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia for her one and only ocean passage to date. Her second owner purchased Theodora in Australia and had her shipped to Lake Michigan, USA where she has enjoyed all that the sweet fresh water lakes can offer.
