Broker's Comments
The Red Fox 200s is a highly practical day sailer and this example appears to be in nice, clean condition throughout having been carefully maintained during it's present ownership.
The large cockpit makes it an ideal family day sailer. The spacious accommodation below has been achieved by the radical design of twin daggerboards which coupled with large lifting rudder give a very credible sailing performance.
Check out the review below from Practical Boat Owner;
"To my mind this still rates as one of the best ever 20ft cruisers. Designer David Thomas created a flat-bottomed innovative trailer sailer that combines good performance and handling with great accommodation for a boat of its size.
The twin lifting dagger boards are an important part of the design – they are far less intrusive on the interior than a single lifting keel and have an asymmetric shape that generates lift to windward. With the boards fully retracted the boat floats in just 8in (20cm) of water and can easily be floated onto a trailer.
As well as providing good form stability, the relatively wide beam also provides plenty of accommodation space, including up to four berths."
With lifting keels and a sturdy trailer this could be your answer to getting on the water if finding a permanent mooring is proving difficult and at an affordable price. A great way to start sailing.
