Designed by naval architects Joubert and Nivelt, and produced in accordance with the shipyard’s construction traditions, the Tofinou 8 is a modern sailboat with a classic and timeless line.
Performing well under a light wind or a breeze, the Tofinou 8, with its responsive helm, offers sensations similar to those of a sport dinghy, easy to manoeuvre alone or with a small crew.
The first Tofinou 8 was launched at the end of July 2007 and she is similar in profile to the Tofinou 9.5. She shares a similar deck plan with large mainsail and self-tacking jib and the same cockpit and coachroof. She is broader and flatter in the aft underwater sections to give great downwind stability.
The Tofinou 8 is designed to be able to sit on her hydraulically lifted keel and to be beached. She looks great and is a delight to sail.
