Comments:
We purchased “Quartet” new from Windward Yachting the then importer in 2005 and she has been a much-admired vessel where every we have been and we have always been proud owners. She sails well and is a very reassuring craft in strong winds and a heavy sea. She has only been used for family sailing adventures but mostly by myself and my wife and we have sailed her extensively throughout the northern French coast and the south coast of England. Sadly, we have other commitments in life at the moment and can’t see ourselves being able to used her for the next few years and feel its time to sell her.
