Remarks
This Etap 28s is a fine example, she had a very high specification from new and is only in her second ownership. The Etap 28s is a real surprise for most people as she is very spacious for a yacht that is just 28 foot long. She offers excellent accommodation and includes the standard modern luxuries such as hot water, cabin heating and a refrigerator.
The Etap 28s is also a very good sailing boat with superb performance, she is great in all weathers as she has a very well balanced sail plan and ballast ratio.
