Lovely boat, really secure and forgiving. Great and accelerating sailing when the wind blows. A head turning vessel that don’t go unnoticed. Navigation history is on the St-Lawrence from Montreal to the Maritimes (golf St-Lawrence and East Coast Canada) and Côte-Nord. For our part this last summer our navigation went from Montreal to Rimouski.
