Owners Comments



TOURNESOL is a beautifully built and maintained cruising yacht on which the current owners have cruised over the last 16 years to Ireland, the Scottish West coast, Orkney and Shetland. In addition, trips in foreign waters include the Faeroes, the Norwegian west coast, Bearisland and Spitzbergen to above 80 degrees latitude.


Tournesol is fitted out and maintained ready for serious cruising as may be seen from the comprehensive list of upgrades and extensive spares. Her weight, hull shape and plenty of sail area give her an easy motion and good passage times.


Tournesol is considered to stand comparison with Oysters, Hallberg Rassy, Bowman and is reluctantly for sale due to changes in family circumstances.
