Description

This very attractive 8m Tadorne has seen the best of care, since her purchase as a new hand built yacht in 2015. She is fully equipped, now in commission afloat on the water, Ready to sail/trail away. She is to be sold with her bespoke SBS twin axle road trailer.
Latitude 46, Tofinou FR designed and built the Tadorne, as the larger sister to their open day boats. She is very compact in her design, the rig and spars all fit within her length. Her all up weight is just 2 tonnes. She tows very well.. Using an A frame with a block and tackle, eases the stepping of the mast (which could potentially be done with one pair of hands. )
Definitely on of Today's Classic Yachts. Ideal to trail to your next adventure, capable of coastal cruising and racing. a good weekender.
