Sirocco is a revolutionary
French ocean racer of the early 1970’s, designed by the Finot
Group. The yacht is one of the best examples of her class and has
been very well looked after since she was launched. For her first
13 years she was hardly used and lay in Largs Marina, Scotland.
The present owners, Simon and Linda Mitchell, bought her in 1991
and have cruised extensively in her on the W. coast of Scotland
and Ireland, the Orkneys, Fair Isle, Shetland, Norway, all the countries
of the Baltic States, Poland, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France
including French canals and the Mediterranean.
She is a beamy, spacious boat down below; the owners
have spent many months aboard her and have never felt claustrophobic.
She is fast and extremely seaworthy; a kind vessel in bad weather
and good in light airs. She has been twice across the North Sea
from Scotland to Norway in unpleasant weather with no fuss. |
