SOPHISTICATED PERFORMANCE-
Rob Humphreys twin rudder, twin steering design for the discerning sailor.
The boat delivers ultimate fast cruising and is a dream for the short handed cruising family. Fast and responsive performance in modern and elegant cruising style.
With great appeal to the serious sailor while at the same time offering sublime cruising with high level appointments to be enjoyed by the family as well. Certainly a much valued ‘Plus’ across the market.
The spacious accommodation offers refined cruising comforts. The broad stern provides exceptionally spacious aft cabins and a massive cockpit.
Pure bow line, an impressive Sail plan with tall keel-stepped fractional rig, swept aft double spreaders, increased mainsail area, a non-overlapping headsail and optional large gennaker handled by retractable bow sprit to maximize her sailing performance and take full advantage of the precise combination of deep lead keel and twin rudder steering system.
The twin rudders provide infinite control to push the envelope without crew and sail changes normally demanded
