A light, elegant and fast double-ender, the Storm 17 has a ketch rig with gaff rig spritsail main, spritsail mizzen and self tacking jib which make her easy to sail and allows different sail formats. She is also very easy to row and motor and can be launched by singlehandedly. Construction is marine ply with resin/fibre bonded seams.
Little used since bought approx. 12 years ago and in very good condition having been kept inside under cover.
