The Sailfish 25, designed by Angus Primrose, offers a spacious, moderately fast small cruiser, with the major advantage of being able explore shallow estuaries and to use cheaper drying moorings due to her lifting keel, which reduces the draft from 3'7" to 13". 'Rozinante' had her engine completely overhauled over the winter of 2023/24 and the lift keel mechanism was also overhauled at the same time. She would be a good alternative to anyone looking at a Westerly Centaur or similar. Viewing by appointment only through our Essex office - 01621 785600.
