Description

The Tropic 56 TI-BAG offers a rare combination of blue-water capacity, significant waterline length (LOA 55 feet), lightweight construction and good looks at a very modest price. This is a simple and efficient sailor's cat with sleek hulls that beckon passage making. It was built by the La Rochelle (France) yard Naval Force 3, known for its wood-epoxy construction. The decks, coach-roof and topsides are wood-epoxy and everything under the waterline is fiberglass (GRP) construction - an excellent combination for light weight, stiffness and durability.
