The Solent rig has an inner forestay with a self-tacking jib and an outer stay with a reacher\/genoa. \u00a0The rig is very versatile and allows for a wide range of downwind configurations.<\/p>\n

The Saga 43 came in 2 configurations with either a pulman berth or a centreline berth further forward. \u00a0Kinship is a pulman layout. \u00a0On Kinship, the forward head has been converted to a storage area. reducing the complexity of the boat and removing a number of through-hulls.<\/p>\n

The Saga 43 has a narrow beam and rounded bilges making her a little tender initially due to reduced form stability. \u00a0Once loaded up, she settles into a a nice groove as the primary stability takes over. \u00a0Kinship has a “6’6″ mid draft keel” with a shoe which improves upwind performance, today she draws about 7ft. \u00a0\u00a0The long waterline means we can keep pace with larger boats, making her ideal for our planned cruising.<\/p>\n
