Yacht charter in La Rochelle · Archambault — Surprise (1980)

Hello everyone, The Surprise is very popular in France, adaptable to all kinds of sailing. More than 1,800 units have been built and are currently sailing in Switzerland, France, Austria, Germany, and elsewhere. The Surprise can fulfill a variety of needs: it's a very appealing dayboat. Its spacious cockpit and uncluttered deck layout make for enjoyable moments. Under sail, the Surprise isn't very technical and its maneuvers are easy. It's a safe sailboat that can provide a lot of pleasure on coastal cruises, allowing you to have fun and enjoy yourself. For those who love to sail and enjoy racing, its hull will provide extraordinary sensations. Very responsive in light winds, it can hold sail for quite a long time. It's one of the few sailboats of its era that can maintain a very good upwind course without losing speed while also being able to plane downwind. This one-design class is very active, with a packed and varied calendar of one-design regattas. Finally, for cruising, this sailboat is safe and can provide a lot of enjoyment for a couple with two young children, for example. Inside, a double berth and two single settees can accommodate the crew. A gas stove, a cooler, and some storage space will allow you to spend a few days in comfortable, camping-like conditions. The services of a state-certified skipper are available as an option for hourly or daily sailing lessons. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly via email at Click&Boat. I will be happy to answer them. Have a good day, Antoine.
