As a Spirit CRUISE design, the Spirit C50 has increased beam and headroom compared to the Spirit RACE designs. This added volume creates a wider cockpit and a more spacious interior for cruising and live-aboard comfort.
With simple sail handling systems, Io of Dartmouth is set up for cruising with family or friends, or for longer distance exploration and adventures. Accommodation is for five people across three cabins and two heads.
Designed as a cruising yacht, “Io” as she is affectionately known, has also proved her worth offshore, completing the infamously challenging Fastnet Race in 2023.
