Who is she for?
For hands-on crews who enjoy sail trim and helming on coastal cruises and longer passages. If club racing is part of the plan, Niko can discuss the sail wardrobe with you. Keel and deck equipment need to suit both your waters and your crew.
Niko arranges sea trials in Barcelona or Portorož. He will confirm whether this particular model is available there.
