F180 SPORTSBOAT FROM FLUID YACHTS... HANDLES LIKE A DINGHY IN SOUTH AFRICA

Easy to sail in the hands of a person new to sailing and can change into top gear with a seasoned sailor at the helm... this is one of the most affordable sportboats built.  Weighing only 650kg and with a draft of 140mm, she is easy to tow, launch and recover, even with a smallish car. The swing keel makes this boat ideal for sailing in dams and shallow estuaries... you can even beach her to picnic. The cockpit is huge (bigger than many 35 footers!) and uncluttered.  Sail singlehanded, take the family or a serious racing crew.  I love this boat, however the call of longer distance racing is calling and I need to move on.  Here's the full specification, plus a video link at the bottom of the boat being sailed in Knysna LOA 5.4m BOA 2.55m Keel operation – manual hand winch Total ballast – 190kg Displacement – 650kg Carbon Fibre mast and boom masthead Windex Harken fittings throughout Main, Jib and A2 Asymmetric Spinnaker with launch bag boat cover jib cover hoisted to cover furled jib to protect  from the elements rudder blade cover anchor, chain and warp 4 brand new lifejackets emergency canister with pencil flare set / one smoke flare portable bilge pump fenders x 4 spare lines mast and boom support cradle for transporting bunk cushions for one side  licensed Road Trailer trailer winch trailer lighting board 2hp Outboard and petrol container paddles x 2 boathook Boat currently in Hout Bay... ready to sail Video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gItxMnM3KLM
