SUMMER TWINS 28

Summer Twins is ideally suited to family sailing with her large, comfortable interior and space for family members to carry out different activities without being in each others way. The practical, comfortable cockpit, with its many lounging positions offers protection and safety at sea and sufficient space for all crew members to be in the cockpit at the same time. She is very easy to handle and all sail handling can be done from within the cockpit making her ideal for short-handed sailing or for families where dad is the main sailor and mum is busy with the kids!

The spacious comfortable saloon has a 'U' shaped settee with ample seating for 6 adults and a large dining table which folds to create even more lounging space. It has all round visibility which not only creates a very light, sunny interior but allows a safe watch to be kept from inside the boat. There is ample stowage space and bookshelves and the main electric panel is conveniently located on the aft bulkhead. The navigation area with chart table and storage drawer for charts, etc is also found on the bridgedeck just inside the companionway. The immense practical galley allows you to cook a full meal at sea or in harbour with ease and space. It is fitted with a double sink, 2 burner gas cooker with hob, cool box and ample cupboards and storage lockers. The heads are located in the starboard hull and are enormous, easy to clean and a shower is available as an option.

Ease of handling should not disguise her excellent sailing abilities and sparkling performance as shown when she won the 1990 YM Triangle Multihull section. Her underwater hull shape is fine and fast and the knuckle over the waterline provides the double bonus of increasing internal volume and buoyancy and has the effect of "turning over " the waves to reduce the bridgedeck slam. Summer Twins have sailed many thousands of miles, including passages from Scotland to Norway, Ireland to France. They have weathered the ferocity of full Atlantic gales with the crew still able to cook and eat below decks whilst keeping a good lookout.
