The rig with a slightly roached mainsail and a self-tacking jib provides more than enough sail area to perform, especially in lighter winds, while the self-tacking jib means gybing and tacking is as easy as it gets. She can also be easily fitted out with a furling gennaker sail. This provides a very effective way of getting more sail area downwind or on a reach and the handling is as simple as a furling jib. Because of this rig the Saffier SC 6.50 Cruise is perfect for solo sailing and does not require an experienced crew. With all these modern features her performance is everything you would expect of a modern design. |
