Still good even when used: the Sagitta 30
The Sagitta 30 in the test
She does not like a light breeze and has no place on the race course. However, the Sagitta can play to its strengths on long journeys and in bad weather
Over the past 50 years, plastic yacht construction has made quantum leaps. The Sagitta 30, designed in 1963, therefore has little in common with today's construction.
But it clearly shows this: The pointed batten, spoon bow and tiller are attributes that are rarely found today.
Designed by Aage Utzon, the Sagitta now has a firm fan base that enjoys its timeless lines and outstanding heavy-weather capability.
In terms of construction, the long-keeler offers a lot of light, but also some shade. The used boat test in issue 04/2009 reveals what to look out for when buying.
