2/3 man racing keelboat, the second largest fleet at Classic Cowes and sailed every weekend in a large 10 to 30 boat one-design fleet at Itchenor SC in Chichester Harbour. No professionals, no sailmakers ruining your fun and the large contingent of "girls" regularly whoop the boys. ISC offers full catering, accommodation , ferry service and parking and is located in one of the most beautiful parts of England with professional yard services if required.
Ages range from 14 yrs to " prefer not to say" and there's lots of floating crew if needed.
We bought her to do Cowes Classics ( big fleets, big dinners, big socials) but there's also Cowes Week, Chichester Points Week, Hamble Classics, Spring Classics, Taittinger and every weekend in ISC and basically for less than the cost of a second hand Laser you can be one design racing with your friends and family in big fleets in really, really nice places in a fast, beautiful, planing keelboat, followed by afternoon tea, beer, sunny snooze and dinner.
Bigger fleets every weekend than most classes can get out in their Nationals and this is the best, cheap, one-design racing you can get.
One of the newest boats in the fleet at a mere 44 years old, fully GRP so no maintenance other than antifouling. Depth gauge, newish sails, boat covers, sail covers, carbon pole...........turnkey racing.
Check out the Swallow Class and Itchenor SC websites.
Can deliver at cost UK or fully refurbished trailer by separate negotiation £ 2400
Boats with sail numbers in single figures regularly beating "new " boats so unlike most keelboat classes you won't be outgunned by large cheque books.
