on the planet!

cruising gear without affecting the performance. Se is easily driven and really
lights up in a good breeze.

strong and solid, keel is cast iron encapsulated in fibreglass; There is no
chance of it falling off! She was built in 1985 by craftsmen at King Dragon
Yachts in Taiwan, famous for their teak joinery, which is stunning on these
boats!
The underbody is similar to famous Valiant 40 except for the transom.
Long fin and skeg hung rudder.
HEYHU is a masthead sloop /cutter with a removable inner fore stay, inline
spreaders and runners ideal for setting a double headsail rig for these long
downwind passages.

easily sailed short handed and comes with a mechanical self steering as well as
an electronic one with direct drive onto quadrant.

HAYHU HAS A CLASSIC LINES, A SOLID TEAK INTERIOR AND GOOD ALL ROUND PERFORMANCE.
A Bluewater vessel with amazing performance for who is looking for comfort,
safety and fun. The interior and the galley size is just amazing and
comfortable. The ceiling insulation plus the considerable sizes of the ceiling
hatches provide a nice wind flow and a perfect temperature sensation on the
heat. As a family of 3 we had a good time sailing and living onboard during a
few months of the past years cruising comfortably and safely.
She is a joy to look at with all the topsides , canvas work, decks, running
rigging , standing rigging and sails in really super condition.
