SPECTRE
"Had a great week sailing the usual haunts around the Clyde estuary and Arran. We chartered ‘Spectre’ this time round and found her to be fast and well balanced. We will definitely be looking to take her out for our next sailing trip in Scotland."
JS, Suffolk
Spectre is a fast performance cruiser that has a large cockpit and twin wheels. With her wide stern she has an exceptional turn of speed downwind and extra-large aft cabins.
Over the previous few years Spectre has undergone a rolling program of improvements and upgrades including a new Genoa, furling system, plotter, and mainsail stack-pack.

REVIEWS
"Yes, we really enjoyed our trip with Sailaway Scotland! The boat was in very good condition and well equipped. Muir was a fantastic. He is witty personality with a good sense of humour.

"We chartered our boat – Spectre – a 42 foot Sun Odyssey boat, from Sailaway in Largs for a week. The boat was in excellent working order. Everything was well maintained, and we were impressed by the quality of the sails and especially the spinnaker. She sailed well and the week was fast, and was easy to handle. The booking, handover, and chartering process was very easy and professional. The team were most responsive and on-hand when needed. All in all we had a great time, and would gladly charter Spectre again."
