Two time and reigning 6 Metre Open Division World Champion Scoundrel is currently for sale by her owner, the United States Merchant Marine Academy Sailing Foundation. Scoundrel was originally commissioned by Bruce Owen in 1989. Scoundrel is not only exceptionally fast in all conditions, she may also be one of the prettiest 6 Metres of any vintage ever built. She is built of cold molded mahogany, and has the unique provenance of having been built by the well known furniture maker Paul Litton. Upon a close look at her you immediately notice the exquisite detail that went into her from the very beginning. It is said that at the time of her build she was the most expensive 6 Metre ever built.
Scoundrel was meticulously re-fit by Matt Brooks in 2017-2018 by Jens Lange and Baltic Boatworks , in Bristol, Rhode Island. Matt had Scott Ferguson design a new mast as well as a new carriage for her mast step. Scoundrel also comes with a second , newer rudder desined by Scott Ferguson. New instrumentation from B&G was installed in 2018, including an extensive and complete electronics package using the B&G H5000 processor. Matt donated Scoundrel to the USMMA SF in 2019. Scoundrel’s rudder, trim tab and mast step all have string pots on them to measure adjustments. The rudder and trim tab string pots are connected to the B&G instruments
From 2018 until 2023 the systems onboard were continuously refined and developed. Mike Marshall of North Sails designed new sails for Scoundrel for her 2023 World Championship campaign. Those sails have one light air regatta on them. Scoundrel’s current sail inventory includes a complete suit of North Sails from 2018, another complete inventory built in 2019 with one season, 2022 in Sanxenxo, on them. And then her 2023 World Championship winning inventory which have one regatta on them.
Scoundrel is in pristine condition and could literally be ready win the 2025 World Championship with very little work, if any. She is for sale at a fraction of the cost of a new boat, and has beaten all the newest 6 Metres in the 2023 World Championship, without having to sail the last race. The fastest and prettiest 6 Metre in the world can be yours for only $250,000.00 USD
