Yet another customer testsailing? Not quite, as this time we were out with a rather prominent, professional race sailor:
Per Roman, Swedish-American owner driver of the highly competetive GP42 GARM - race team, recent winner of 2026 Sardinias Cup, vice ORC world champion and second in Coppa del Rey, is a true living sailing legend.
Last Tuesday Per paid a visit to the Pure Yachts factory and of course put our Pure 42 "Tom Kyle" through its gears, too, in a fresh 20 knots breeze.
Accompanied by his daughter Liv, who is a capable race sailor too, he wanted to find out if a Pure aluminium yacht would come up with enough sailing thrill and quality to eventually become the next family performance cruiser ...
Appearantly chances are good, as the smiles in the faces and the thumb-ups indicate. On his instagram-account Per commented:
".yachts delivering a n impressive sailing experience in 15-23kn of wind. A true go-anywhere boat and getting there rather fast."
Thanks, Per! What a great day on the water.
