The Reflex38 yacht has excellent proven capabilities as an offshore racing yacht, but is also able to caqrry out all the requirement when running a Race Yacht charter operation such as charter, crew sail training, corporate entertainment and racing, it was designed well ahead of its time by Christian Stimpson, and still has the ability to shine on the race course again the new lighter displacement yachts.
