ꜰʟᴇᴇᴛ ꜰʀɪᴅᴀʏ: ꜱᴏᴏᴛʏ ᴛᴇʀɴ

Introducing Sooty Tern, our "pocket rocket".

Model: Dufour 310
Maximum Capacity: 9 PAX + Skipper
4 Hour Private Charter Cost: $1600

Although being the smallest in the fleet, Sooty is one of the most popular vessels. Sporting a full-battened mainsail & overlapping headsail, she has a lot of power. She enjoys winds of 15 - 25kts with ease, as twin rudders provide ultimate control, even under significant heel.

Sooty sports the best visibility across the fleet, with no bimini getting in the way of the views. The downside of that is you're a touch more exposed to the elements - which can be a great thing if you come prepared!

Below deck, you'll find significant volume for a boat of 31 feet, with 2 cabins, 1 head & fully functional galley.

In no particular order:

2) Sooty alongside Andoo Comanche shot by Redcap Photography

"You’ll be glad to hear that the event went really well last week and we’ve heard so much positive feedback from both our guests and Managers for the Sailing. Below a few comments for your reference and to share with your team as well 😊

1) One of the best organised events we went to (courtesy to your amazing schedule, on point planning and delicious food & beverage arrangements)

2) Amazing skippers on board! The team really enjoyed SBS’s company!

Which leads me to extend a huge thank you to Sydney By Sail for hosting our Corporate Sailing Day – an overall impeccable experience for both me and our guests. 

Also much appreciated for helping with photography on the day – love seeing all the fun the group had!

Highly recommended and look forward to working together again in the future."
