Comments on the sails and rigging from the surveyor:
"The masts are solid Douglas-fir and are less than 10 years old. Equipment on the mast was well secured. The spars are also solid wood and are in good condition. Finish is firmly adhered."
"Stitching was found tight and not UV degraded. Boltropes were without chafe. Cloth was clean and without mildew. The lines aboard are in very good condition. The sails were made by Force 10 Sails on Marrowstone Island, Washington. The rigging was inspected by world-renowned tall-ship captain, rigger, and sailmaker Wayne Chimenti when the vessel was brought to the Pacific Northwest."

Vessel Length Over All is 80 feet.
From the recent 2022 survey..." SPIKE AFRICA presents the appearance of a well designed and constructed wooden sailing vessel that is structurally sound and in very good condition. The overall impression is that the vessel was initially well-built to robust scantlings, and has been extensively restored starting in 2009 then culminating in 2019".
This vessel was built by Bob Sloan in Costa Mesa, CA. The schooner was built over seven years and launched on Valentine’s Day 1977. The current owner has completed an extensive re-build and re-fit including the masts, the rigging, new engine, generator and sails.
This design is heavily influenced by East Coast style coasting schooners which were designed to carry cargo. The scantlings of these vessels are robust to meet the demanding nature of their work. Certain design features such as the broad transom stern, the boxy cabin-house construction, the clipper bow, and raised quarterdeck, immediately convey the east coast influence on this vessel.
The schooner has a clipper bow with an engraved cutwater and billethead. The forefoot is moderately curved and turns into a long, straight keel. The rudder is keel-hung. A small counter-stern extends the hull aft of the rudder and meets the broad transom. The deck is on two planes, with the forward deck starting at the bow and extending to just forward of the mainmast. A break-timber provides a step-up onto the quarterdeck, which is encircled with wooden stanchions and railings. The cockpit has a circular footwell. Cabin houses are boxy with cambered overheads. Davits hang off the stern to lift the dinghy.
Scantlings:
Bulkheads: Solid-wood.
Clamp: 5-3⁄4” sided x 1-3⁄4” molded.
Deck:
Sub-deck: 1” tongue-and-groove Douglas fir, laid fore-and-aft. Deck: 11⁄2” Douglas fir, sprung parallel to rail.
Deck Beams: 3” sided x 4-1⁄4” molded, apitong.
Floors 3” sided on 20” centers.
Frames 6” sided x 4-1⁄2” molded, double-sawn apitong, on 20” centers.
Keel: Originally built with Douglas-fir. 12” to 161⁄2” wide. Purpleheart was employed for a repair in 2010.
Longitudinals: 9-1⁄4” sided x 1-1⁄2” molded.
Planking: 2” Douglas fir.
Shelf: 5-1⁄2” sided x 1-1⁄2” molded.
Additional tankage:
15 gallon Water Heater (120v or engine coolant heated);
Two (2) five gallon propane tanks

The vessel is laid out from bow to stern as follows:
Forwardmost is the chain locker, accessed through a watertight hatch in the fo’c’s’le. The fo’c’s’le holds two pilot berths, a double to port and a single to starboard with stowage beneath both. A small workbench is also in this compartment as well as an enclosed head.
Passing aft through a watertight bulkhead door leads to the center cabin. This area was previously used for cargo but has been converted to accommodate passengers. To port is a U-shaped settee and table that can be converted to a double berth. To starboard is double-berth.
Moving aft through another watertight door leads to a small area forward of the engine compartment. In this space, an enclosed head to starboard and double pilot-berth is to port. Passing through the head leads to the engine compartment. A passageway on port leads up to the main salon.
In the main salon, a passenger berth is tucked under the deck to port. The captain’s quarters are port-aft, with a double-berth and full-sized chart table. Raised over the engine is the galley table and built-in settees. The L-shaped galley is to starboard-aft. Centerline steps lead up to the aft deck.

HEALTH DICTATES THAT THIS BOAT NEEDS TO SELL!
SPIKE AFRICA has become an icon in the world of active schooners. Bob Sloan, the builder, took seven years working mostly alone to complete the construction of the boat. He took time away from other builds taking place in his boat yard to prioritize completion of this vessel.
Upon completion he set out operating her in a traditional way as a long distance cargo vessel, hauling racing sail boat gear for boat races like the Transpac and others in Mexico. He also used SPIKE AFRICA to tow the racing sailboats back to their home ports as well as providing commercial towing for the insurance companies. This boat also towed a 115' Feadship motor yacht across the the Atlantic from the Mediterranean Sea. SPIKE AFRICA traveled more than one million sea miles and transited the Panama Canal more than 50 times.
The current owner has completed a total re-build and re-fit and has used SPIKE AFRICA as a very successful charter schooner in the Pacific Northwest and includes a current USCG Certificate of Inspection (COI) for continued charter work. This level of certification requires a diligent inspection for vessel structural and mechanical condition and safety compliance annually.
The surveyor commented favorably on the vessel in his 2022 report summary:
"SPIKE AFRICA presents the appearance of a well designed and constructed wooden sailing vessel that is structurally sound and in very good condition. The overall impression is that the vessel was initially well-built to robust scantlings, and has been extensively restored starting in 2009 then culminating in 2019."
Wooden Boat Magazine #70 (available on-line) has a wonderful article about the builder, Bob Sloan and the story of the schooner SPIKE AFRICA. She's an exceptional historic vessel in outstanding condition, ready for continued service and truly representing an exceptional opportunity for her next owner.
