Description

1993. Sail number 231
Carpe Diem in great condition ready to sail, fast!
Quality Danish build, exceptional design, easy to sail single handed, very easy to sail with novice crew. Hang on in the guests or you will be out the back! the acceleration is amazing. The swing wing system allows for folding in a marina without leaving the cockpit. 4 wheel trailer and boat weight of 1100kg easy launch/recovery/home store or ecconomical marina winter storage.
I have often sailed round the Isle of Wight on a variety of yachts, not only is Carpe Diem the quickest boat I have sailed but more importantly the least tiring, which I think is testament to her design and capability.
