Remarks:
From the manufacturer’s website:
“The Loch Broom Post Boat is a beamy and stable family cruising dinghy, with a very roomy cockpit thanks to her long keel and the absence of a centre plate box. She offers good windward performance and good ability on all points of sail, and is not slow on tacks and gybes. Conveniently she doesn’t require a braked trailer due to the overall gross weight of boat and trailer being below 750kg.”
“While made in fibreglass to ensure easy maintenance, they retain the charm and many characteristics of the wooden originals. This very attractive craft gains attention wherever it is seen.”
