Europe 1986 Winner APS

Ashore East Kent (garage-stored)

This Europe dinghy presents an excellent opportunity for a keen sailor to acquire a competitive boat in good condition. Sometimes known as a ‘Baby Finn’, this Europe is fun to sail, handles well, and still has plenty of life in her. She also currently sails in open water and copes well with sea conditions.

The boat has been well maintained throughout its life, has no reported structural issues, and is ready to sail. She comes equipped with:  

• Three sails (older but usable)
• Launching trolley (without road base)
• Carbon fibre mast
• 11-month-old top cover (bought November 2025).
• RYA Measurement Certificate 2023 (will need to be updated for new owner)

Additionally, the hull was recently rubbed down and repainted. The centreboard and rudder are in good condition for their age, and the boat was completely re-roped by the previous owner in the summer of 2025. The boom and control lines are all intact.

Transport Information:
The boat must be collected from a garage in East Kent. Because there is no road base trailer, prospective owners will need to make their own transport arrangements. However, the current owner has offered to help deliver the boat around the M25 corridor for the cost of fuel.
