Is this the ultimate trailer sailer? The build quality is like that found on a larger yacht. The designer could not have better credentials - Ian Proctor. The large cockpit makes it a true sailing boat. The cabin may be compact, but compared to a 2-man tent it's luxury! The weighted keel gives her superb stability, and its fully-retracting nature makes her easy to tow and launch. The whole package can be easily towed by a modest vehicle, and she can be launched anywhere - be it the Lakes this weekend, Scotland the next, and who knows where else.
