Very beautiful and capable offshore cruiser. This un-stayed, carbon-fiber masted cat-ketch rigged double-ender can be single handed with ease. Her lay-out below is perfect for privacy when cruising with multple couples or groups. The attention to detail in woodwork is evidenced in her gorgeous interior. This boat has sailed in the Charleston to Bermuda race (with Stephen Colbert as crew) and is ready for more extended cruising. Read more about the designer in the "full specs" section.

Commentary on the designer
"Yves-Marie de Tanton is one of the great designers but not exceedingly well known outside the trade. He pioneered the unstayed carbon fiber Cat-Ketch rig. He specializes in the sort of intensely personal custom designs that keep his customers coming back." S. C. B.
"Yves-Marie is a very talented designer with lots of fresh ideas, a guy worth keeping tabs on." D. S
"Tanton has designed some of the world?s fastest and most exotic racing yachts. This gives Tanton a most unusual perspective on design features for esoteric cruising boats." R. H. P.
"I had the pleasure of working with Yves-Marie when I was on the East coast. I must say that my own drawing style and design approach was markedly influenced by the six months that we worked together. Yves-Marie probably draws the fairest set of lines that I have ever seen. His lines gallery are truly works of art." B. P.
"Tanton has never been accused of surrendering to convention." Q. W.
"Tanton has already designed five boats for me and currently designing two more. This speaks for itself." B. G.
"Tanton had met the criterion creativity and had offered a highly professional design that would provide a two-person crew a uniquely capable world cruiser." B. W.
"Un Fran?ais, Yves-Marie TANTON, s'est install? ? la Mecque des U.S.A. : Newport. Il compte parmi les meilleurs." G. R-D
