Foxcub 18 Mk2 Trailer Sailer

Hi - This is Otter. We've had a great 10 years together but now time to move on. Most seasons she's been moored on Loch Lomond with annual holiday trips to various locations on the scottish west coast. Otter has always been wintered indoors. She has proven to be a good stable and, at times, forgiving boat with a good size cockpit and comfortable interior overnight trips.

New to Sailing Review An excellent small (18ft) sailing cruiser that is very easy to sail single-handed. Designed by the legendary Uffa Fox, it has four nominal berths, although two is more realistic and has more than adequate sitting headroom. Easy to trail and sail at 550kg weight, it points up well and is very responsive to the rudder, spinning round in its own length.

Handling is predictable and the boat always feels stable. Good in light winds, but in a good breeze she will really show her paces.
