Yikes is a sleek, fast 33-foot J/100 design, with a light touch on the tiller and a deep keel. It is close to the water and slides through the waves with barely a whisper.
Comforts include a wide, roomy cockpit, a reliable diesel engine, a marine head, lifelines and lots of local knowledge to keep you safe and on course.
