English
A well prepared Archambault Grand Surprise, this boat comes with an extensive sail wardrobe. The boat has been fully serviced every year, including antifouling, engine maintenance and equipment maintenance.
This Grand Surprise offers powerful and efficient upwind performance due to its deep lead bulb keel ensuring quick acceleration and a responsive sail plan. Off the wind the Grand Surprise will quickly reach double digits, flying an asymmetric from its retractable bowsprit or a symmetric.
The boat is ready to sail away and is available for viewing immediately.
