The New Cormorant day boat is a 12ft sailing boat available in wooden kit form. It is an ideal day sailor and can comfortably accommodate a family of 2 Adults and 2 children. After several months of development the New Cormorant has had her first sea trails in winds ranging from Force 3-4 and sometimes Force 5. She handled this surprisingly well keeping dry, with good speed and very little heal. She was easy to row and responded well under motor.
The New Cormorant has been designed to meet the Recreational Craft Directive category ‘D’ sheltered waters requirements. It is suitable for conditions up to wind force 4 and significant wave heights up to 0,3 m. It can be used for voyages on sheltered coastal waters, small bays, small lakes, rivers, and canals.
