The Ebihen 16 is fantastic water-ballasted dayboat suitable for all the family, single handed sailing and camp cruising. It is a boat that was designed by renowned French naval architect, Francois Vivier - very much in the spirit of the traditional Breton working boats but built using modern techniques and materials. These boats are very rarely available in the UK. This particular example was built by an experienced amateur using the very best materials, fittings and finishes. It was launched in 2022, not used at all in 2023 or 2025 and only lightly used in 2024. It has been stored under cover when not in use and is in pristine condition, throughout, and ready to launch.
