The Sadler 26 needs little introduction. These capable family cruisers have a well deserved reputation for sea kindly performance combined with a comfortable layout below. They are equally at home cruising offshore as they are pottering about creeks and estuaries and the double skinned hull makes them warm, dry and unsinkable. 'Esprit' boasts a new engine in 2023 plus recent sails, rigging & upholstery.
