Broadblue 385 – Boat Review

Andrew Burton reviews the Broadblue 385 for the 2007 Cruising World Sailboat Show By Andrew Burton From its “ocean-rated” windows to the six sealed flotation compartments, the Broadblue 385 is meant to sail safely. Its skeg-hung rudders are the same depth as the hollow keels, which have a reinforced shoe so the boat can be grounded—a handy attribute when beaching for a bottom scrub. In its native Britain, many are kept on moorings that dry out in the large tides there. On my test sail in light air, the 385 seemed underpowered, and it slammed to a stop in some powerboat wakes we crossed. Most cruisers, presumably, would put its twin 20-horsepower Volvos to work in those conditions. To read complete story – click here for Broadblue 385 Boat Review on Cruising World website
