Description
Most yachts at boat shows look almost identical - so how can a prospective buyer judge a yacht's sailing abilities from the sales brochure alone? a variety of questions present themselves: Is she a fast or slow boat? Will she hold her course well? Is she light on the helm? Does she ride the waves comfortably? Will she respond to a light breeze or does she prefer a heavy blow? Can she be sailed easily by a small family crew?

'This is the text to take you beyond the catalogues, boat show displays and hype.' - Lloyds List
