Previous Owners Comments

We bought Missuann for long distance sailing to and in the Mediterranean.  Our priorities were sea worthiness, ease of handling (single handled if need be as Judy is prone to seasickness) winter comfort (as we were live-aboards for three years) and ample accommodation for family to join us.  

She sails well if thirty degrees off the wind, otherwise motor-sailing is essential. 

The engine gives 5 knots at 1400revs and uses under l gallon per hour   She gives 7knots at 2000 revs. This was seldom used but was essential to counter the flow of the Rhone. 

She is a dry boat even rounding the Lizard with a six on the nose (unless you venture outside the wheel house when it is as wet as any other boat. 

She is very good manoeuvring under motor and can turn in her own length. 

Missuann III has partaken in many Classic Yacht rallies on her way, including Brest '96, Douarnenez '96, West Cornwall maritime Festival '96, Sail Ipswich 97 and Portsmouth '98.
