Over the last weeks we have done an enormous amount of testing with the all new Saffier Se 27 Leisure and we are stoked with the results.
The Hiswa Amsterdam Boatshow - where we were exhibiting the Saffier Se 27 Leisure - was stopped due to the Coronavirus after two days. As soon as we got her back from the show we started rigging the newest model in our range.
Everything like the keel, rudder and the complete rigging fitted perfectly. In only a few days the Saffier Se 27 Leisure touched the water for the first time in IJmuiden, Holland.
The days afterwards we were treated with all kinds of weather conditions. On the second day mother nature gave the Saffier Se 27 Leisure a stunning 24 to 28 knots of wind and a clear blue sunny sky. The youngest Saffier felt stable and quick in the upwind.
She was surfing downwind, felt rock solid and super easy to handle with just a few people on board. Average speed downwind: 13 knots. Top speed downwind: 20.4 knots.
With less wind the Saffier Se 27 Leisure the stability and performance is better than we could have imagined. A powerful rig and sleek hull lines provide more than enough power to accelerate with just the slightest puff of wind.
The Se 27 Leisure is as easy to handle as all the other Saffier Yachts with all the control lines, sheets and halyards right at the helmsman's position.
Until now, 18 new Saffier Se 27 Leisure are sold and we expect more to come in the future.
