The Cobra 750 is a 1977 design by David Feltham, who also
designed the other yachts in the Cobra range, and the very
similar Seawolfs.
The Cobra 750 is a modern-looking, very beamy yacht, the large
beam giving very spacious accommodation for her length of
25 ft.
Most Cobra 750s built were twin-keelers, as are the yachts
shown here, although fin keel versions were also produced.
The bilge keels were well designed, and provide good windward
performance.
The hulls were moulded by Cobramold, and fitted out by Cobra
Yachts of Hayling Island. A substantial number of bare hulls
were also sold, plus kits for home completion, so standards
of finish (and interior layout on occasion) may vary considerably. |
