We love being able to offer interesting boats, and this one without doubt meets that basic description (in a good way!)

We are a great believer in the philosophy that the best boat you will ever own is the smallest one that will do what you want to do – and if you want to sail long distances short handed then this is an extremely well thought out and well equipped boat exactly for that purpose.

A brief word on the Corribee class itself – “renowned for its sea keeping ability and great performance” (Wikipedia), a favourite among serious sailers who know that less can often be more – famously this is the type of boat Ellen MacArthur commenced her illustrious endeavours on with her round Britain solo-expedition. “Kudu” is a rare bilge keel example (most Mk. 1 Corribees are fin keel)

“Kudu” has been re-fitted to a highly practical standard by her current owner to be capable of a solo-round Britain expedition, and indeed he has covered many thousands of miles on her in the past year to prove that capability. The website http://onkudu.com/ provides an incredibly detailed, fascinating and entertaining account of “Kudu’s” adventures. In fact, interested buyers will not find a better source of information on this boat than on this website (making this possibly the easiest boat description this Broker has ever had to do!)
