Diablesse

The 17-year-old centreboard sloop Diablesse was designed to combine the racing efficiency of a maxi with the cruising comfort of a superyacht.

Her helm and primary winches are aft, but there is also plenty of room for taking it easy under the Bimini awning in a spacious centre cockpit.

Belowdeck, Diablesse offers accommodation for 12 plus 4 crew.

Diablesse underwent a complete refit recently at the Norman R. Wright & Sons boatyard in Brisbane. Her electronics were also brought up to date.
