Compromise is often the way of life. We need boats that serve a dual purpose. Sometimes we want the thrill of the race course and other times we want space, accommodation and safety. Racer/Cruiser’s have become very popular with manufactures over the years as they are able to appeal to all aspects of sailing.

NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE TO US CITIZENS IN US WATERS. PHENOMENAL VALUE! IDEAL FOR LARGE FAMILY OR CHARTER. Kimosabi is a head-turning, sailing dynamo, with dark blue hull and sleek lines. Hull number 15, Kimosabi was the last of this model built. It is ideal for a family or for use as a charter boat. The 4/5 cabin, 5 head configuration allows privacy for all on board and this boat has plenty of room to move around. The boat has spent most of its life in the Mediterranean, but the current owner brought it across the Atlantic in 2021 from Spain and, though the family were on board, he sailed it single-handed. He raves about the sailing capabilities and how comfortable Kimosabi feels under way. The 7' draft and tall rig provide stability and power under way. The size of this vessel makes it very comfortable for a large group of people. The double cockpit allows those not involved in the sailing and sail-handling activities to stay out of the way of those that are. The aft cockpit is spacious enough for people to move around easily, with plentiful storage and dual helms, easy access to the sail-handling winches and the transom. There are winches on coamings of the aft cockpit and on the coachroof alongside the mast, so plenty of winches for line handling with (2 ) electric winches in key positions. The forward cockpit is strictly for entertainment, relaxation and access to the interior. It has a large bimini for shade and the dodger provides good protection from the weather. There are numerous opening hatches on deck providing light and ventilation and a large dome hatch letting light into the salon. A large forward storage locker is accessed from the deck and the anchor locker is divided in 2. The fold down transom opens to a 'garage' which has space for the toys to be stored, including dive gear, a dive compressor and a fabulous sound system. It allows easy access to and from the dinghy and the water.
The interior is
cavernous! A huge salon, with dining table to port and 2 chairs on
the starboard side, forward of the nav station. The galley is a
separate room with copious amounts of storage, a full size fridge/
freezer and access to the generator and engine room.
