Owners Comments

"Sophie" was purchased by her present owner in 2022/3. She has proved to be a successful cruiser racer and family boat, a very nice boat to sail, with a comfortable cockpit with high coamings, good visibility over the cabin top, wide side decks, and a very well balanced helm. The wide main hatch is also very family friendly, good contact between cockpit and cabin. Headroom is about 5' 8" under the main hatch, less forward. A 2019 insurance survey is available.
