Broker Comments
"NeoJivaro" is an exciting all-rounder. Clearly setup more for offshore than inshore by her current owner, the attention to detail is really some of the best we have seen at this size and type and the boat is now exceptionally well proven and reliable. With distance racing under IRC his focus, that has been the main objective with his campaign, but we know sistership are thriving under the ORC rating rule as well and they are also superbly capable inshore as well, given they are not overly radical in their chines or foil design. Her "IRC optimization" has been limited to the sail plan, so weights / appendages / rig's etc remain the same as her sisterships, so she is very flexible depending on the next owners plans. Just concluding a comprehensive refit in S France, we welcome your interest.
