2014 Latitude Tofinou 8

2014 Tofinou 8 - 'Lennie' is a lovely example of these classically designed yet modern day sailers, built by Latitude 46 in France. She has been in the same ownership since new and is well suited to short handed sailing, a crew of two can handle her with confidence, both cruising and racing, the owners have campaigned in local and national events with great results. The cockpit feels safe and secure with long bench seats and all controls within reach of the helm. Her cabin can sleep four and the owners specified a plumbed flushing toilet instead of the standard chemical version. A comprehensive works programme was undertaken last spring at Elephant Boatyard.
