Sasanka Viva 700 Sailing Boat - Trailer Sailor - Yacht

Sasanka Viva 700 Sailing Boat - Trailer Sailor - Yacht. Enya is a deceptively spacious 4 berth boat that we have owned for 3 years and in that time we have made many improvements with a plan to keeping her for years to come. The most notable of the improvements is the engine well we have had built. These boats were designed with the engine mounted on an outboard bracket off the transom, this caused the engine to cavitate in any chop. With the engine well professionally built and the Yamaha High Thrust 8hp 4 stoke engine she is now very comfortable and easy to manoeuvre.
We have also had a new tiller and blade rudder built and installed. I have installed a Propex Gas Heater. With a new Exe Sails Main, Stack pack and Spray Hood in 2021/22 she is in great condition and ready for the season. New additions to the family and a change in circumstances has meant we are now going for a larger boat. While you can launch and retrieve the boat, the trailer is used as a yard trailer only, with some maintenance it could easily be back on the road but please be aware she is currently not road legal.
We bought the boat as a trailer sailor so we could launch and retrieve while waiting for a berth. She is not a live aboard. We have sailed her all over Lyme Bay for weeks at a time and while you could cross the channel in her in fair weather I wouldn’t feel comfortable if the weather turned. She is a great boat that would make an ideal first sailing boat for a family for a single cruiser wanting an easy way to get on the water.
