About
The Sadler 290’s combination of space and pace in a boat of this length is extremely hard to match. Designed by Stephen Jones, she offers an ergonomic deck layout with generous side decks and a well-proportioned cockpit. Below decks, the Sadler 290 makes clever use of her beam, with the heads positioned between the saloon and forward cabin, allowing the saloon to sit further aft in the boat’s widest section.
“Fortuna”, was built in 2006, and presents in a beautiful condition. The boat has been well maintained and upgrade in recent years, including a new saildrive diaphragm, new rudder bearings and a new headsail furler. A particularly appealing choice for East Coast cruising and beyond.
