Carbon Yachts recently embarked on an exciting journey to IJmuiden, Holland, to experience the Saffier SE 27 Leisure with Saffier Yachts’ CEO, Dennis Hennevanger. This hands-on test sail highlighted why the SE 27 Leisure is celebrated for delivering a unique blend of speed, style, and simplicity tailored to the modern sailor.

Performance and Handling

The Saffier SE 27 Leisure promises a responsive and exhilarating sailing experience, and our test sail lived up to every expectation. With all lines routed to the helm, she’s designed for easy handling, ideal for solo sailors or those looking for a refined day sail. Dennis Hennevanger’s insights into the boat’s design revealed Saffier’s dedication to creating a powerful sail plan, where the helm’s control remains smooth even at top speeds, making every tack and jibe a thrill.

Spacious and Stylish Cockpit

One standout feature of the SE 27 is her expansive cockpit, providing comfortable seating and exceptional visibility without compromising on space. The design prioritizes ease, allowing sailors to enjoy their time on the water with minimal effort. Dennis emphasized how Saffier’s approach focuses on creating a harmonious balance between comfort and performance, something that has become a defining quality of the brand.

Sustainable Innovation

Saffier’s SE 27 Leisure doesn’t just impress with her looks; she’s built with eco-conscious materials, demonstrating Saffier’s commitment to sustainability. This model aligns with Carbon Yachts’ dedication to promoting environmentally friendly yachting solutions, setting the SE 27 Leisure apart for those who value both performance and ecological responsibility.

Our sail in IJmuiden underscored why the SE 27 Leisure is not just a sailboat but a statement of refined sailing. With Carbon Yachts bringing Saffier’s innovative designs to Australian shores, this is a vessel that promises to resonate with sailors looking for elegance, ease, and excitement on the water.
