History and Owners Comments Anecdotally, we're told that this particular Sadler 34 was originally owned as his personal yacht by a senior Army officer, based for a time at the British Services', Kiel Sailing Centre in Germany. It was upon his insistence that the forward sections be 'beefed up' and additional ballast weight be fitted to the foot of the keel. It was at this time too that a holding tank was provided by the adaptation of the internal moulding's locker under the forward berths to provide the tank. We believe that, in his ownership 'Faustina' cruised the Baltic and down into the Mediterranean Sea.
It can be seen from the documentation held that she was returned to the UK and formerly sold within the family to the original owner's son, with the boat being based in the Southampton/Solent sailing area for many years by the following two owners before being bought by the previous owner who is a professional Yacht Captain. In September 2022, it was purchased by two octogenarian brothers and moved from Plymouth to Glasson Dock in Morecambe Bay. The elder brother has extensive experience of sailing, from 1979 he raced J24s being successful in national and internation events. In 1997 he commenced a 14 year circumnavigation along with his wife. He has used his vast experience to make many small and subtle improvements. Unfortunately very little cruising was done in 2024 because the flood defence door at Glasson Dock was stuck in the closed position and was not removed until early august. This allowed a cruise to the Isle of Man, Northern Island to Troon. A late Scottish cruise had to be aborted due to bereavment. A late season cruise returned Faustina to Glasson Dock for the winter.
Once again Faustina was moved up to Scotland, this time to Clyde Marina. From this base succesful 4 weeks of cruising have been acheived. Unfortunately ill-health makes a sale necessary.
