We are very pleased to be listing "Al Shaheen". Known to us over a number of years through our membership of the Ocean Cruising Club she was designed by the renowned Naval Architect and former Ocean Cruising Club Commodore Mike Pocock.

Built in Aluminium Marine Alloy to the exacting standards of her highly experienced owner (also a past Commodore of the OCC) and overseen in build by Surveyor Jim Pritchard, the result is a handsome, custom ocean passage maker with an impeccable pedigree, yet she is easily sailed by just two or single handed.

Launched in 2001 and now recently re-painted in 2014 by Fox's of Ipswich in Awlgrip, she is extremely well set up for long distance ocean sailing.

Designed for comfortable long term liveaboard cruising for a couple (with occasional guests) she is quite possibly the perfect blue water cruising yacht. Point her in any direction on the globe and she will eat up mile after mile, after mile.

A highly regarded yacht, Al Shaheen is British Part 1 Registered, RCD Compliant and VAT Paid.

Specification

AL SHAHEEN is a custom-designed sailing boat, strongly constructed in marine grade aluminium alloy, designed for ocean cruising, and laid out for long distance cruising for a couple, in comfort. The designer, Michael Pocock as well as being an accomplished naval architect, is an extremely experienced cruising yachtsman and the design of this vessel incorporates many features of his extensive practical cruising experience. Easily managed single-handed.

History
The vessel was conceived by the Owner based on the success of two of Michael Pocock’s earlier designs Troubadour and Brown Bear, both 45 footers and both constructed in cedar/epoxy composite. At the Owner’s request, these lines were scaled down to 42 ft and the design was adapted for aluminium construction. Al Shaheen thus became the first of a series of three 42 footers, Al Shaheen (alloy), Sadko (alloy) and Arabesque (cedar/epoxy composite) all for very experienced members of the Royal Cruising Club and/or the Ocean Cruising Club, as were the original 45 footers. Sadko has cruised in Greenland and Antarctica.

Fabrication of the hull, deck and superstructure was undertaken by Cunningham Offshore Racing in Littlehampton, UK and completed in July 2000. The hull was then transferred to the River Hamble where she was completed by David Skene of Skene Services. She was launched in May 2001.

The complete build project was supervised by the Owner as Project Manager and he also undertook all the procurement of materials, equipment and services. The specification of the rig, sail plan, deck layout, deck fittings and running rigging was all by Michael Pocock. Most other items of equipment were selected or specified by the Owner and all systems were designed by the Owner, a Chartered Engineer. The basic design theme throughout was sound engineering, simplicity, functionality and reliability.

The metal fabrication contract was carried out under the supervision, inspection and certification of Marine Surveyor Jim Pritchard. The Owner obtained certification as Builder for type (Pocock 42) compliance with the European Recreational Craft Directive 94/25 EC and Al Shaheen has certification of compliance for Category A, unlimited.

Al Shaheen has cruised extensively in the UK, France, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Canaries, West Indies, Bahamas, East Coast of the USA, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, the Azores and the Baltic countries, covering around 35,000 miles. She has been maintained throughout to a very high standard and was completely repainted in 2014 by Fox’s of Ipswich in Awlgrip.
