Both manufacturers have their roots in the 1970s, and both offer boats for beginners, families and regatta sailors…
Cruising sailors who set off on major voyages across oceans and into remote regions face a wide range of dangers. It's no wonder that safety concepts are hotly debated in sailing circles – especially since several well-known accidents revealed the weaknesses of conventional production yachts.
