BROKER'S COMMENTS

Based on a John Leather inspired French pilot boat ketch, - apart from the schooner rig - her lines have also been adapted with finer sections below the waterline to improve general sailing and upwind capabilities. RAGNAR is now an incredibly seaworthy blue water sailer; proven safe - and dry given her high bulwarks. Spacious and comfortable below decks she is nevertheless easy to handle by just two people. Indeed her owners have thus just completed a four year circumnavigation (30,000 nm) and after a new coat of paint and varnish will be ready to go again. She is meanwhile registered on the Mediterranean Circuit as a Classic (not Spirit of Tradition). RAGNAR has been much admired all over the world. Recently re caulked and repainted and seacocks renewed, her berth to September 2012 is also included.
