"Maddie Too” is a Beneteau 323 Oceanis Clipper. She was launched in 2005 and has spent her life sailing on Windermere.
It was the combination of dazzling good looks, together with her dark blue hull and contrasting coach lines and comprehensive specification that attracted me to her.
She has some very clever touches such as a lifting keel with which enables her to approach even the shallowest of jetties for guests to embark. The steering wheel can rotate 90 degrees to allow a wide passage from the cockpit to the cabin enabling easy access onto the boat.
Internally the 323 is fitted with central heating to take the chill off those cooler evenings. Glass panoramic roof windows allow plenty of light into the cabin complementing the spacious saloon. She also has two double cabins, a good size galley and a surprisingly roomy heads (bathroom).
Under sail she comes into her own and displays grace and stability as her bow cuts through the water with ease. With almost a 50 foot mast, huge sails deliver consistent speed with very little wind.
All in all “Maddie Too” is perfect for the job and once you've been aboard and experienced a sail you will be as impressed as I still am.

A beautiful simple flower that grew amok in John and Judie's garden gave inspiration for the name of the new venture.
The location had surrounded and exhilarated them for years as they sailed “Allegro” their treasured 24 foot Hurley yacht, exploring the calm tranquil yet sometimes tempestuous waters of England's largest natural lake, “Windermere”. They revelled every weekend absorbing the unspoiled breathtaking scenery, wildlife and fresh hillside air. After a sharp increase in mooring fees, to maintain these special breaks aboard at the end of a hard weeks work a little extra cash was needed. Judie's birthday gave them a germ of an idea. Their two teenage sons took it upon themselves to prepare a gourmet meal aboard. After a thoroughly special time and darn fine food and drink they really appreciated the combination of a tranquil evening with 360 degree panoramic views, good cuisine and the family there to enjoy it with. Oh! And a few bottles of wine too and so Sail 'n' Dine was created.
Demand increased in the two years that followed and they updated “Allegro” for two Trapper yachts slightly larger and more accommodating. They also made the tough (?) Decision to quit working at the teaching and probation professions. They sailed one boat each during the day, offering trips on the lake, corporate events and sailing tuition. In the evening they teamed together to offer their “jewel in the crown” the evening cruise, incorporating a tempting sail and equally tempting food and wines.
