OWNER’S COMMENTS:
After several years of racing high performance dinghies, we started looking for a yacht that would take us to further horizons. We bought Salticus for her ruggedness, good looks and ease of sailing, as well as her potential for long distance cruising. After a year in Scotland, we went to the Orkneys and Shetland and then on to Norway. Following a year’s preparation, we set off south for France, Spain and Portugal, and then on to the Canaries, the Caribbean and North America for 2 years before returning via the north Atlantic route. Since then we have been exploring the west coast of Scotland.
At all times we (two-handed) felt safe and secure, and the boat has been easy to sail in all conditions from gentle breezes to force 9 (and more). She is small enough to squeeze into any marina or anchorage and yet feels big enough to take on all conditions, including a Nor’easter when crossing the Gulf Stream, or even the Corryvreckan….
We will shed a tear when we part ways, but we feel it is time for someone else to realise the potential that Salticus continues to offer, and we wish you safe passages and fair winds wherever you go in her.
