"Sotalia" is a proven blue water-capable cruiser with thousands of sea miles under the keel. This is an outstanding 15-metre (including bowsprit) staysail sloop. A true world cruiser of solid construction comprehensively equipped presenting in sea-ready condition. The laid teak cockpit is well sheltered, the decks are uncluttered, and the rig with furling genoa and staysail is set up for shorthanded cruising. Indeed, many of the blue water miles logged by this vessel have been single-handed. She is powered by an ever-reliable 80-hp Ford Bowman providing the power to punch the chop.
This rugged vessel will get you there, safely and comfortably. Cruising yachts of this calibre are becoming rare, "Sotalia" can be described as a sailors' yacht.
This is where your great adventure begins... CALL PAUL to arrange an INSPECTION.
NOTE: Sotalia's is based on the Maurice Griffith "Good Hope" design with an extra 3 feet added.
