If you are interested in doing some proper sailing on a comfortable, fast, solid, classic sailing boat, then El Niño is the boat for you.
El Niño is a Dufour 45 Classic
A 45 foot (13.65m) classic design sailing boat.
It has a fully battened mainsail with 3 reefs and a 130% furling genoa. At 14 tonnes, the boat can handle any conditions and ploughs through the waves as though they were merely ripples on a pond.
the 2.3m draught and long fin keel mean that you can point higher to the wind than most charter boats.
Below decks, you have the comfort of 3 double cabins, 1 bunk cabin and 2 bathrooms.
The gulf of Volos and the Sporades islands are one of the last remaining, Mediterranean sailing areas where you can still find an empty cove in the middle of summer. There are no marinas, so you will not be charged €100+ a night.
