She is a direct descendant of the original Carbineer which has won a number of awards for ocean voyages. Daphne Isle is ideally suited for cruising the Northwest with her custom center-cockpit semi-enclosed helm station a vast improvement over the original Carbineer s aft steering station. Purchased in England as a two year old vessel by well known Victoria Sailors, Daphne Isle cruised the Mediterranean and then was sailed across the Atlantic, landing in Victoria in 1975. The present owners had the good fortune to be first in line to purchase Daphne Isle in 1998 and have enjoyed extensively cruising her ever since. Please see her owner s comments below.

Moody and Sons in Southampton.This vessel is fully equipped for offshore sailing and is an incomparable Northwest passage maker. The cutaway keel, skeg and rudder design give excellent sailing performance. Under power, Daphne Isle cruises effortlessly at 7.2 knots (1300RPM, 1.4 gallons per hour).Unlike the standard Carbineer's aft steering location, Moody built a custom designed forward station which allows the helmsman a high location to single hand the in-mast furling mainsail and self tailing genoa winches. The convertible dodger is easily lowered or raised to include side-screens and/or aft awning.The raised salon provides all round visibility and an excellent helm station.
