Description
1982
QU'AU RHUM2 is a nicely presented example of an Archambault Grand Surprise, fast, responsive French sailboat designed as a high-performance one-design racer and sporty coastal cruiser. She is a Fractional Rigged, Fin-Keeled Sloop with a Spade Rudder. Built to be fast and functional rather than bound by strict handicap measurement rules, often nicknamed a "sports car on water"
Powerful and efficient upwind sailing due to a Deep Lead Keel and capable of reaching planing speeds of up to 15 knots off the wind with an Asymmetric Spinnaker flying from a Retractable Bow Sprit
Broker's View: "A well-renowned Racing Yacht presented in good condition, with an extensive suite of sails, listed at an attractive price, currently moored in Weymouth Harbour and available for viewing."
