Description

The Cobra 1050 designed by David Feltham is an excellent family cruiser and the flagship of the Cobra range. Spacious accommodation includes two separate sleeping cabins making this the perfect cruiser for a family, two couples or groups of friends. Equally suitable for single handed sailing with all lines led aft and single-line reefing. Generous deck easily accommodates an inflated dinghy with plenty of room to drop anchor. She has quite remarkable self-steering ability and the bilge keels make her perfect for exploring creeks and shallow inlets and she can easily be beached for an afternoon or for shelter, repairs and maintenance. In marinas, she has a remarkably small turning circle. Very steady on course and with a forgiving sea-kindly behaviour the Cobra 1050 is well-regarded as a sturdy and safe boat with a deep cockpit and broad coamings and high freeboard. She is in excellent condition and has benefitted from regular refits including standing rigging 2026, engine and folding prop 2021 and windlass and anchor system 2017 to name but a few
