1995 Sundeer 56

This 1995 Sundeer 56 is a performance bluewater cruiser designed by Steve Dashew. Built on a fiberglass hull with a shallow long-chord fin keel, the yacht combines efficient design with practical cruising capability. Her shallow draft allows access to anchorages unavailable to larger vessels of similar size. A 110 hp Yanmar diesel engine powers the boat, which cruises at 8 knots under power.

The interior layout comprises two cabins and one head, providing comfortable accommodation for extended passages. Teak and holly flooring adds warmth to the living spaces. The galley and navigational areas support self-sufficient cruising far from shore.

Recent improvements include an oversized Yanmar engine with low running hours, newer sails (full-battened main, jib, and code 0), and a high-efficiency solar panel system that substantially reduces reliance on engine-driven charging. An electric windlass simplifies anchor work. The hull and deck have been painted with Awlgrip LPU. A watermaker is fitted for extended voyages. These systems and upgrades reflect sustained professional maintenance.
