Chaperon has bilge keels and draws just under a metre. Noted as the second best sailing bilge keeler after the Falcon, which is just a bigger version of the same design so naturally a bit quicker. This yacht has everything for comfortable cruising with a family and is easily sailed by any competent sailor single handed. It has been an absolute joy to own her for the past 11 years and I am only selling due to ill health that will prevent my using her in the future. She has been well maintained and improved over the years and is in good working order although not yet prepared for the season. She has been ashore since October and can be viewed in Bembridge Isle of Wight. The price reflects my desire for a quick sale as I paid much more for her, although reasonable offers will be considered.
