Description

Key features of Hull design and construction: The hull is constructed from solid, hand-laid fiberglass, providing durability and a classic profile. Credo is equipped with the deeper 5’3” fin keel which offers better upwind performance. The rudder is faired into the underbody with a small skeg, providing good tracking and maneuverability. Interior and accommodations Spacious layout: The generous beam (10'10") allows for an exceptionally roomy interior for a boat of its size, often featuring a U-shaped galley and sleeping berths for up to seven. High headroom: With 6'3" of headroom, the cabin feels open and comfortable. Stable sailing: A high ballast-to-displacement ratio and wide beam make the boat very stable and stiff under sail, standing up well in heavy winds. The tall rig option provides more sail area for lighter air performance.
