Being white boat derived, Daphne is a most elegant craft with performance to match

The cockpit is roomy and the cuddy provides shelter should the weather turn inclement

Daphne is set up for ease of handling : the electric motor enable the owner to get on and off a mooring without fuss and has the additional advantage that return to said mooring is possible even if the wind drops

The mast winch saves a lot of effort, the aft-led lines are most convenient and the lazy jib with furling makes for fuss-free sailing

Arguably, Daphne is the ideal B-roads cruising / picnic boat
