Description

Daring is a very well equipped great all-round fast cruiser / racer that has been in the current ownership since 2008. She has comfortable accommodation and much additional equipment and improvements. She combines comfortable accommodation for all the family in three cabins with good sailing performance. Heating, hot water, showers, refrigeration and large water tanks means that she is able to cruise for extended periods in comfort. Over the last 11 years, the current owners have spent many very enjoyable holidays aboard and have had great racing success both inshore and offshore. Daring is easy to sail two handed and the husband and wife owners have had done well racing two handed. She is well maintained, afloat and ready to cruise or race.
