--- title: Tofinou 12 – A Modern Take on the Classic Daysailer description: The 40ft French built Tofinou 12 sets itself apart from the fleet with its timeless, elegant lines and varnished mahogany cabin top. A real head turner, that also performs exceptionally well in all weather conditions with its tall mast and deep 8ft keel. As a result of the classic daysailer design, weight is reduced over your typical 40ft production boat, excelling her light wind performance and making maneuverability a breeze.  The Tofinou is easily sailed short-handed with all lines returning to the cockpit, and a self-tacking jib. Below deck, the classic elegance is carried on with a stylish and well-designed cabin. There is room on board for the whole family for weekends away, with sleeping for 4, a functional galley, and enclosed head.  Check out our latest feature video on the Tofinou 12 below and for more information click here.
