What distinguishes the model

  • The vinylester foam sandwich combines low weight with high structural strength and has been praised by experts for sailing performance and build.
  • Designed as a long-distance and performance catamaran, the boat sails briskly at 7 to 9 kn at 50 degrees to the wind in light airs.
  • The young, active yard has already delivered a larger model, which speaks for reliable build quality and future security.
