The Guy Couach 1600 is a sailing schooner designed for offshore navigation with a double sandwich hull and good livability, including three cabins with bathrooms.
This model primarily uses balsa and polyester for its hull, constructed in one piece, ensuring strength and durability at sea.
The Guy Couach 1600 is ideal for long-distance cruising, although it is not optimized for racing competition.
The Guy Couach 1600 has an acceptable total sail area of 120 m², providing good upwind performance suitable for long journeys.
The points to check include the condition of the balsa, any renovation work on the interior layout, and the condition of the masts to ensure safety at sea.
