Mishaps and Memories

Mar. 1, 2007 - Barracuda

I've also been sent the details of a Sadler Barracuda 45...

Its the boat that eventually assisted in the demise of Sadler, and was a pretty extreme bit of kit.... far far far to extreme for me.... with a reputation for being blisteringly quick (owners reported regular 18 to 20kt reaching speeds), and leaking like a sieve....

For those that remember the 80's TV show 'Howards Way', this was the 45'er that featured in that programme... it won loads of races....

As said, not for me as a family crusing boat.... but does look like a load of fun!

I'm fairly new to all this, and keen to find out all I can about sailing and yachts.

Your comments on the Barracuda were interesting to me!
