Scott Jutson is a very successful yacht designer, and although now living in Seattle, he spend much time in Australia, and was premier designer for much of our best sailing boats. Free as a Breeze, is a collaboration of owner ideas, and yacht designer know how. The result is a surprisingly sharp and efficient 40' sail boat, which can race with the best, but is also a very solid cruising boat. A beautiful timber interior, teak deck and easy handling systems for sails and gear. Ideal for a Pacific voyage or and East Coast romp!
