Flying Saucer is a sea-worthy and easy to handle boat even in the rough weather. We were sailing the North-West coast of Scotland. She took us safely as far as St Kilda, Outer Hebrides and North Scotland.
Loved, well maintained and very clean boat. Well equipped with good sails and reliable engine. She is a great little boat for exploring the seas.
