Description
The Super Seal 26, designed by Ron Holland, is easy to sail with sparkling performance. These capable little lift keel family cruisers have been sailed far and wide and are ideal for creek crawling and shallow water sailing. A shallow-draft lifting keel unlocks the hidden Essex saltmarshes?slipping into secret creeks, settling flat on the mud, and offering a front-row seat to a thriving, untamed world of waders, seals, and shifting tides. This excellent example built by Parker Yachts, is only for sail as the owners have emigrated. Viewing by appointment through our Essex Office.
