INTRODUCTION
 
This Schedule 13D Amendment ("13D Amendment #2") amends the original Schedule 13D filed June 28, 2006 ("the Original Schedule 13D") and all subsequent amendments thereto (collectively, "Schedule 13D Filings"), and is being filed on behalf of Chap-Cap Partners II Master Fund, Ltd., and Chap-Cap Activist Partners Master Fund, Ltd., Cayman Islands exempted companies (collectively, "the Funds"), Chapman Capital L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Chapman Capital"), and Robert L. Chapman, Jr., an individual ("Mr. Chapman" and, together with the Funds and Chapman Capital, the "Reporting Persons").  The Schedule 13D Filings relate to the common stock, $.01 par value per share, of Sunterra Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Issuer” or "Company").  Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the "Common Stock" are to such common stock of the Company.  Chapman Capital is the investment manager and adviser to the Funds.  The Funds directly own the Common Stock to which the Schedule 13D Filings relate and over which Chapman Capital may be deemed to have control by virtue of the authority granted by the Funds to vote and to dispose of securities held by the Funds, including the Common Stock.  Except as set forth herein, the Original Schedule 13D filing is unmodified.
 
ITEM 1. Security and Issuer
 
The Schedule 13D filings relate to the Common Stock of the Company.  The address of the principal executive officers of the Company is 3865 West Cheyenne Avenue, North Las Vegas, Nevada 89032.
 
ITEM 2. Identity and Background
 
(a)   This statement is being filed by the Reporting Persons.

(b)   The address of the principal business and principal office of the Funds, Chapman Capital and Mr. Chapman is Pacific Corporate Towers, 222 N. Sepulveda Blvd., El Segundo, California 90245.

(c)   The Fund’s present principal business is investing in marketable securities.  Chapman Capital's present principal business is serving as the Investment Manager of the Funds.  Mr. Chapman's principal occupation is serving as Managing Member of Chapman Capital.

(d)   None of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their directors, executive officers, general partners or members has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e)   None of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their directors, executive officers, general partners or members has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f)   Mr. Chapman is a citizen of the United States.
 
 ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
The total amount of funds used by Chap-Cap Partners II Master Fund, Ltd., to purchase the 326,800 Common Shares reported hereunder was $2,374,839 (including brokerage commissions).  All of such funds were derived from working capital.
 
The total amount of funds used by Chap-Cap Activist Partners Master Fund, Ltd., to purchase the 538,000 Common Shares reported hereunder was $3,908,961 (including brokerage commissions).  All of such funds were derived from working capital.
 
 

 ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction
 
The purpose of the acquisition of the securities of the Company beneficially owned by The Funds was to acquire such securities in the ordinary course of their trade or business of purchasing, selling, trading and investing in securities.
 
The Reporting Persons may in the future consider a variety of different alternatives to achieving their goal of maximizing shareholder value, including negotiated transactions, tender offers, proxy contests, consent solicitations, or other actions.  However, it should not be assumed that such members will take any of the foregoing actions. The members of the Reporting Persons reserve the right to participate, alone or with others, in plans, proposals or transactions of a similar or different nature with respect to the Company.
 
The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Company on a continuing basis and, depending on various factors, including the Company's business, affairs and financial position, other developments concerning the Company, the price level of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, as well as other investment opportunities available to them, may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time.  Such actions may include, without limitation, the purchase of additional shares of Common Stock in the open market and in block trades, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, the sale at any time of all or a portion of the Common Stock now owned or hereafter acquired by them to one or more purchasers, or the distribution in kind at any time of all or a portion of the Common Stock now owned or hereafter acquired by them.  The reasons for the Reporting Person's past or prospective acquisition or disposal of all or a portion of the Common Stock now or once owned, or hereinafter acquired, may include, without limitation, the implementation of risk management procedures that involve the purchase or sale of Common Stock into depreciating or appreciating market conditions, respectively.  Parties that purchase or sell Common Stock following the filing of this Schedule 13D Amendment #1 may be purchasing or selling Common Stock that is being sold or acquired by the Reporting Persons, respectively.
 
The Reporting Persons are engaged in the investment business.  In pursuing this business, Chapman Capital personnel analyze the operations, capital structure and markets of companies, including the Company, through analysis of documentation and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market observers and with representatives of such companies (often at the invitation of management).  From time to time, Chapman Capital may hold discussions with third parties or with management of such companies in which the Reporting Person may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, management or capital structure of such companies as a means of enhancing shareholder value.  Such suggestions or positions may relate to one or more of the transactions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, such matters as disposing of or selling all or a portion of the Company or acquiring another Company or business, changing operating or marketing strategies, adopting or not adopting certain types of anti-takeover measures and restructuring the company's capitalization or dividend policy.
 
On June 28, 2006, Mr. Chapman sent a critical letter to Mr. Gubbay and the Board of Directors of the Company.  The correspondence, dated June 28, 2006, was attached as Exhibit B to the Original Schedule 13D.  Throughout July and August 2006, Mr. Chapman communicated with the Issuer regarding the Reporting Persons' view that Messrs. James Weissenborn and Keith Maib be replaced with competent, experienced time share company executives.  Moreover, Chapman Capital contacted numerous prospective candidates to replace Mr. Weissenborn as Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, all of whom did not share with Mr. Weissenborn the condition of having "dirty hands" resulting from serving as a director of the Issuer during the period covering the Issuer's alleged accounting and tax improprieties.  Chapman Capital believes that the Issuer has made significant progress toward the goal of Mr. Weissenborn being replaced by an executive better suited professionally and ethically for the Chief Executive Officer position with the Issuer.
 
Based on equity and M&A market conditions, and recent changes in comparable valuations for the Issuer's common shares in particular, the Reporting Persons determined it prudent to reduce their long market exposure to the Issuer.  In addition, the Reporting Persons reduced their combined ownership position in the Issuer below the 5% threshold in order to relieve themselves of certain reporting requirements associated with Section 13D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
Except as set forth above and in the Original Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  Each of such members may, at any time, review or reconsider its position with respect to the Company and formulate plans or proposals with respect to any of such matters.
 
 
 ITEM 5. Interests in Securities of the Company
 
(a)   Together, the Reporting Persons beneficially own a total of 864,800 shares of Common Stock constituting 4.4% of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
(b)   The Reporting Persons have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of, and to dispose or direct the disposition of, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them.
