We purchased 'Jamcill' (formally 'Tenderlies') in 1997 and had her trucked from Burlington VT to our home in central NY to have access to do a top to bottom restoration.  Over 10 years we completed virtually a complete restoration.  We are the 4th owner and have been told by the previous owner that she was brought back from China aboard the deck of a US Aircraft Carriers and sailed one year by the Admiral who purchased her.  The second owner sailed her on weekends on Lake Champlain for several years.  She was then purchased by the previous owner and used in the charter business on Lake Champlain. 

'Jamcill' has turned up in three national publications.  In April 1996 "Practical Sailor" published an article on the Clipper series and used our boat as an example of the Clipper 36.  In 2001 "Gold Old Boat" did an article on the Cheoy Lee Association with pics of 'Jamcill"  The December 08 issue of "Soundings" featured 'Jamcill' in the used boat feature. 

Our plans for cruising has changed and we regret but must sell 'Jamcill'  She is ready to cruise and all systems are in near perfect condition.  'Jamcill' as of Dec 08 has been sailed less than 50 hours since the completion of the restoration.

We do not have many good pictures of 'Jamcill' under sail but Click Here for some professional photos of a sister ship under sail.

Hull number 2318, 'Jamcill' was built in 1969.  She is Ketch rigged and ready to cruise.  The Clipper 36 came in two floor plans.  Ours is Plan B  (see image to right ) with a fold down table, with seating (extension settee's) on both the port and starboard side that slide out to form a large bed. This plan also has two pilot berths, a large head and a forward birth that with insert installed forms a very large double bed.

The Clipper 36 has  beautiful sheer lines and with the Sitka Spruce spars and bowsprit is a boat that catches the eyes of everyone at any marina.  The interior teak wood work is exceptional and we have never stopped admiring the skill that went into the wood work on Jamcill.  We have fully restored all the teak interior.

Restoration:

I did the restoration of this Clipper with a view to keeping the boat for a very long time. I enjoyed doing the restoration work and spent over 2,800 hours (over 11 years) on the various tasks. The restoration was successful, and the boat is in very good condition. Our plans have changed, and this is the reason for the sale.

For a comprehensive list of restoration material and labor costs Click Here

• The deck has undergone a complete restoration.  The previous owner had the original teak deck and coring removed, new mahogany coring installed.  Then a new glass deck was installed at a cost of over $14,000.  Non-skid paint was installed.  We removed the non-skip paint and installed teak colored "Treadmaster" on the fore and side decks.  In the cockpit we installed a new teak deck (see cockpit section below).

• The cockpit on the Clipper series was built with an open design.  We installed teak comings to make the cockpit comfortable and this allowed space to build teak LP gas lockers with double as raised seats (click photo to the right).   A teak cockpit table was installed as well as a large Force 10 BBQ.  The BBQ can be used on either the port or starboard rails installed on the taffrails.  BBQ used 3 times.

Forward Double Hull Crash Zone:

An unusual feature of 'Jamcill' is the fact that the holding tank has been made integral with the hull such that where the hull to be penetrated anywhere forward of the aft-most wall of the water tank, the influx of water does not communicate directly with the main bilge. Therefore a substantial hole in the bow region of the hull in the forward section is unlikely to sink the boat. This is a very conservative, safety feature in a coastal cruiser, normally found only on "blue water" boats.

Thruhull Safety:

We designed the cockpit drains to allow them and all thruhulls to be left in the closed position when not on the boat.  To drain the cockpit a tee was installed in one of the drains which leads to above the waterline thruhull.  This allows for peace of mind when boat is left unattended.
