We do not see many yachts like this in South Africa, it would be nice to add a true motor sailer to our range of kits, we can source a designer I am sure.

I used to crew on Amberes each Easter TBA Regatta for Rob, her owner,so I know the boat quite well. There was always a hot shower available when I was using another boat, this went on for about
four years while I was in between boats, thanks Rob!

This boat makes so much sense when the weather pipes up,the helm is fully protected, its faster under motor than sail and easily makes 8 knots with its 85 hp Volvo diesel.
