Owners comments :
E.O.D. has been our sailing home from new when we picked her up from Les Sables d Loane  in Brittany.
She has enjoyed so many delights with us since then. Sailed her home to Dartmouth before cruising to Ireland in 2010.
2011 saw her take us safely and quickly to Gibraltar, The Balearics, Italy, Greece and Turkey
We cruised in the 2012 East Med Yacht rally ( great fun) from Turkey to Israel and then helped organize The Friendship Yacht Rally from Symi to Venice In 2013.
Motoring the tender through the canals was a highlight!
2014 saw us   track back through France and Spain to Gib before crossing to The Canaries then Cape Verde and across to The Caribbean.
Much fun in the Caribbean ending up as far west as Jamaica. The Bahamas and Bermuda before heading back via The Azores to the UK
2016 saw us compete in the Three Peaks Yacht Race before running our own Malts Cruise around the western Isles and transversing The Caledonian Canal and circumnavigating the UK ( the short version J)
2017 gave us the opportunity to explore the western coast of France, NW Spain, Portugal and nip out the 500+miles to Madeira
2018 took us back to The Med and cruising round so many delightful Greek islands, overwintering in Preveza
2019  E.O.D. enjoying shorter island hops through The Ionian, The Corinth Canal, The Saronic Gulf, The Cyclades and Dodecanese islands before heading back into Turkey for the late Summer. 

We have had so much fun, delight and fulfilment aboard. She has looked after us through whatever we have encountered from an incident with an Orca in Mid Atlantic to single handed sailing in 50 Knots off the Peloponnese. She is such a brilliant blue water sailor and takes force 7s in her stride. She regularly cruises at 8-9 knots. 10 knots feels exhilarating and 12 knots a rare treat. She is easy to sail and all everyday sail trimming and reefing is carried out from the cockpit helping her keep all crew safe and secure.

We have sailed into harbour after a great day’s sail to meet crew from smaller yachts vow retirement from the sport after tough days afloat. I cannot over emphasise what a beautiful and strong design and build she is.

With her shoal keel drawing 2.1m she is also able to find sheltered berths in the majority of harbours and marinas around the world, again helping us find quiet moorings when more traditional deep keel sisters frequently have to anchor outside. 

She is now on the market as grandchildren and impending retirement draws me back to shallow home waters.
