Sportina 700 + Trailer – Many recent upgrades!

Just in, ‘Solentsway’, a Sportina 700 built in 2007, would make an excellent little cruiser for a couple of a small family. The Sportina 700 is a popular trailerable yacht as the cockpit-controlled lifting keel retracts right inside the hull, meaning that this boat will float on only 14″ of water. So, the 700 is perfectly suited to creek crawling, drying out and lifting out onto her trailer. This Sportina model also boasts safe sailing with all control lines coming back to a well protected cockpit, enabling easy short-handed cruising. Yet, this boat is no slouch – due to her low weight she will accelerate in the merest breath of wind – so, she has been set up for club racing too. Ofcourse, boasting such low weight  makes Solentsway a doddle to tow behind most decent sized family estates.

Down below, the Sportina 700 offers 4 good sized berths – a double in the bow and two quarterberths. In addition, to port, Solentsway features a seated galley with sink and work surface, as well as plenty of storage. To starboard there is a chart table with more storage under.  A clever flip-up dining table fitted around the keel casing will offer space for 4 to enjoy drinks and meals together whilst tucking fully out of the way when not in use. Under the cockpit sole there is even a slide-out porta potti, neatly hidden under the companionway steps.

This little yacht has just become available through Boats on Wheels and boasts a long list of improvements made by the current owner in the last 2-3 years:

• New Sanders Sails slabreefed main and furling jib (2023)
