I found a 1972 28 foot custom built
sloop built by Couach Yachts out of
France. I can not find any information anywhere on this vessel. What I do know from being around several sloops of this size range that this vessel is well built. It has a enclosed
wheel house with tiller
steering in the
cockpit. It has a
full keel drafting four and a half feet. Plenty of
head room 6 ft. A roomy
head in the bow instead of a v-berth, Ive never seen this before. There are swinging doors at the compainion way with now steep steps, instead you can walk right into the
wheel house and the
galley and be out of the elements with plenty of room. It has a
volvo two lunger inboard that runs. I think this may have been a one time custom built
boat, built by a reputable
builder of yachts and
commercial vessels since 1897 and still putting out quality
boats today. I emailed them in
France 3 times yet have had no response. If anybody has any information on Couach building sailboats in 1972 please inform me if you would.
Thanks Roo
