boat hire in La Rochelle · Archambault — Surprise (1980)

Hello everyone, The Surprise is very popular in France, able to adapt to all programs. More than 1800 units have been built and are currently sailing in Switzerland, France, Austria, Germany, etc. The Surprise can meet several programs: it is a very interesting dayboat. Its large cockpit and clear deck plan allow it to spend pleasant moments. In navigation, the Surprise is not very technical and its maneuvers are easy. It is a safe sailboat that can give a lot of pleasure in coastal strolls while having fun and having a good time. For sheet eaters and regatta lovers, its hull will give extraordinary sensations. Very lively in light airs, it will be able to keep sail for a long time. It is one of the rare sailboats, of the time, to be able to make a very good course close-hauled without losing speed while being able to plane downwind. And this one-design is very active with a very dense and varied calendar in one-design. Finally, when cruising, this sailboat is safe and can give a lot of pleasure to a couple with two young children for example. Inside, a double berth and two benches can accommodate the crew. A gas stove, a cooler, a chemical toilet and some storage space will allow you to live a few days in pleasant camping-type comfort. The service of the state-certified skipper is optional for a handover by the hour or by the day. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me directly on my messaging Click&Boat, I will be happy to answer you. Have a nice day, Antoine.
