Broker's Comments

A pretty French cruiser/racer from the 1970's the Ecume de Mer model established Finot's reputation as a production yacht builder of note.
Beautifully balanced under sail and with exceptional upwind performance they have the sea keeping of a true thoroughbred and might be considered a bit of an offshore bargain at today's prices. French yachts of that era still look relatively modern when viewed alongside some of the more caravan like British offerings; indeed one might say they possess a certain je ne sais quoi !
