Timeless elegance. Rediscover the pleasure of sailing.
Designed by Joubert & Nivelt and built in France by Latitude 46, the Tofinou 8 combines classic yacht styling with the lively response of a modern daysailer. Her graceful profile, warm timber finishes and inviting cockpit create an unmistakable presence on the water.
Ideal for relaxed coastal outings or spirited sailing with a small crew, she offers an engaging experience for owners who appreciate both craftsmanship and performance.
This 2008 example benefits from an extensive refit completed between October and December 2025. Highlights include a new Yanmar engine, renewed standing rigging, replacement teak decking and new headsails. Raymarine instruments and an autopilot complement her sailing inventory.
A distinctive opportunity to enjoy an elegant French daysailer with substantial recent investment.
