Marketing Description
A well cared for example of the Archambault Grand Surprise, this boat comes stocked with an extensive sail wardrobe, large array of electronics, recent replacement of standing rigging and a great record on the race track. This is a limited 'Saga' edition Grand surprise from 2007.
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, with the additional bonus of being able to plane.
The ease of sail management, responsive sail plan, balanced hull and exciting performance make the Grand Surprise an exciting round the cans performer than can be used fully crewed around the race course, easily managed short handed or simply taken for a leisurely day sailing with family and friends. Comes complete with a Road Trailer.
