Builders Comments
Launched in 1991 like a big brother to the Tofinou, the boat immediately aroused interest and admiration. Like the Tofinou, the hull and deck are made of polyester, teak and varnished mahogany.
At 8-meters long, it comfortably welcomes up to 6 persons on-board. The self-draining cockpit is large and spacious. No need to come out of the cockpit for manoeuvring: halyards, sheets, reefing lines, engine handle and furling jib are at an arm’s reach for the person at the helm.
Beneath the roof, the atmosphere in the cabin is warm and convivial. The fittings are very functional and constructed with care in satin-varnished mahogany by talented woodworkers. The two lateral front berths are upholstered with a pretty canvas sheet whose colour is in accordance with that of the hull. To starboard is a stainless steel sink with pressurized water. There is a toilet beneath the front berth.
The Tadorne is a fast sailboat and stiff under sail.
