Why this type of yacht in the style of Colin Archer?

• Deliberately built for longevity: steel hull, solid tanks, solid construction - in the spirit of Colin Archer's classics, which were designed for heavy-duty use.

• Made for cruising sailors: the focus is on functionality, safety and seaworthiness - not a "fun boat", but a ship with high standards.

• The draft of 1.65 m in combination with over 5 tons of ballast and a wide hull ensure reliable directional stability and hardly any drift - as you would expect from classic long keels in the Archer spirit.
