Description

I have owned this boat for 4 years, since October 2020 and am trading up to a larger vessel. This is regarded as a classic design from David Sadler. The Sadler 26’s two-module construction and built-in foam buoyancy make her one of the very few unsinkable cruising yachts ever designed. This built in buoyancy also provides insulation and reduces condensation. This is a masthead sloop with furling foresail and slab reefed main. All lines lead back to the cockpit.
This is a bilge keel version with one metre depth allows you to take this boat into the shallowest harbours. And with the bilge keel you can let the tide go out & you will remain upright. Useful for drying out against a harbour before heading for a pint. I have had great fun over four seasons with this boat on the south coast between Dungarvan and Mizen. Having a 16HP Beta with just 220 hours gives the comfort of reliability and power when you need to get somewhere quickly.
