Sailing characteristics and Rigging
This yacht is specifically designed for effortless single-handed sailing and relaxed day trips.
- Self-tacking jib : Equipped with a fractional sloop rig, making tacking fully automatic.
- Modern hull : The fin and bulb keel underwater ensures excellent stability and sporty, responsive handling characteristics.
- Cockpit controls : All halyards and sheets run to the cockpit, so the sailor never has to leave the boat during maneuvering.
Comfort and Layout
Although the focus is on the sailing itself, the boat offers a lot of comfort for the crew.
- Spacious tub : The ergonomic tub comfortably accommodates 4 to 6 adults .
- Sleek deck : The deck is free of unnecessary obstacles. The absence of guardrails reinforces the classic aesthetic profile.
- Small cabin (Pocket Cruiser) : Inside is a simple but elegant cabin, suitable for weekend trips, often equipped with a freshwater system and cooking facilities.
