Doyle of Kingstown - Dun Laoghaire designed this stunning GRP boat, an absolute head-turner. With a gaff rig, main and jib, and simulated clinker construction, this boat is a real gem.

The 50kg centre plate and cockpit combings add to the boat's character, making it an ideal three-person day boat.

This boat is perfect for day sailing, short coastal passages and classic regattas. It's a custom road trailer and reserve Honda outboard, making it a hassle-free option for those who want to enjoy sailing without the big boat bills.
