English family dinghy CORNISH COVE (identical to the small sailboats Gazelle de Sables or Skellig) in perfect condition. Small, modern yacht with traditional styling (maintenance-free).

Model: CORNISH COVE Construction material: Polyester hull and deck (like 99% of pleasure boats, maintenance-free). Maximum engine power: 3.5 hp Length: 3.20m Beam: 1.37m Weight: 60 kgs (can be easily launched on its own with a beach cart or small removable launch wheels not supplied) Sail area: 8m2

The Cornish Cove can be compared to a small Caravelle, a Skellig or a Gazelle des Sables in France. It can carry up to 3 people on a family outing. The advantage of this dinghy over the Caravelle or Skellig is its low weight and compactness. Weighing just 60 kg, it can be handled by a single person for launching. Small removable launch wheels are available to make launching on the beach even easier (not supplied). Storage and handling are also facilitated by its small size.

It is extremely stable for its size and weight. This stability means that children and novices can board in complete safety. The boom is high. It's unsinkable, and particularly easy to right alone in the event of desalination. So it's safer than older Caravelles.

Rigging is simple and easy. It is also possible to reduce the sail area by reefing. Last but not least, masting takes just a few minutes, which means you can sail more often, for longer, and easily change waters.

It can also be rowed or motorized.

It can also be used to participate in rallies of old rigs and maritime festivals (Brest 2024, Semaine du Golfe du Morbihan, etc.). Sailing and rowing enthusiasts also regularly gather to sail together!

The CORNISH COVE belongs to a special category of dinghies, known as rando dinghies. This category is unique. They are not to be confused with the sporty dinghies so well known in sailing centers. The approach to sailing with rando dinghies allows you to concentrate on the pleasure of sailing, and forget all the worries and complexity that can be involved in setting up a more conventional sailboat (mast only possible in a minute, neoprene not compulsory, etc.). If you'd like to know more about this rando concept and discover other models, watch the video on YOUTUBE: PUFFINS TREK "comment bien choisir son dériveur de rando".

Possible options (at extra cost) : Road trailer and combined launch.
