Emerald blue
     

Emerald Blue is a modern 48ft  S&S Classic designed by arguably the worlds most famous yacht designer Olin Stephens who has recently died aged 100.
She is strong, seaworthy, fast and beautiful.

Emerald Blue turns heads wherever she sails and her crew are often to be seen collecting prizes on the podium at Regattas and club races.

She can carry up to 5 sails on her ketch rig, yet easy to steer and handle, many novices who have sailed her have become  enthusiastc sailors.
The accommodation is roomy, light and airy, and the systems on board are simple and efficient.
Delicious Thai and Western food is provided on board by Fon, Emerald Blue’s Friendly, cheerful, Thai cook.
