Thus she is solid construction and extremely strong, yet only around 12 tons. She was designed also to be lifted by a crane from a single point for loading on a ship. A development from the highly successful Italian S&S design MABELLE, while beamy amidships, the hull is lively and she steers well on all points of sail. Her inherent qualities have more than justified a recent comprehensive refit by her current owner at his own boatyard. With the new mast 5 ft higher she can be rigged as a sloop or yawl. The original mast is still available if required. SANDEMAN YACHT COMPAN Y Brokerage Of Classic & Vintage Yachts www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk Sandeman Yacht Company Limited 2017.
