Remarks:
The Falmouth Bass Boat 16 is a roomy and stable family day sailer with the capacity to carry 5 adults. She is easy to trail (with a short mast which lies in the hull for trailing), launch and handle, and she can be confidently sailed single handed (reefed or under just jib and mizzen should conditions get a little too exciting!). Her lifting rudder and centre board allow sailing in shallow waters and her strong bilge keels ensure that she stays upright if kept on a drying berth. All in all, this makes her a very suitable daysailer for the creeks and estuaries of the east coast or Norfolk Broads! This Falmouth Bass Boat 16, complete with trailer, will be sold ready to sail and tow!
