Tofinou 9.5, GASPÉ

Broker’s Comments

GASPÉ is arguably one of the finest examples of the Tofinou 9.5, having been professionally refitted by Jeremy Rogers in Lymington to a standard that exceeds the original manufacturer’s specification and is now fully ready to sail.

The Tofinou 9.5 is a modern take on the classic daysailer/club racer, designed by Philippe Joubert and built in France, where the attention to detail is evident throughout. Commonly seen on the racecourse, these boats offer easy single-handed sailing as well as a spacious and safe, centrally controlled double cockpit for crewed sailing. Easily trailerable, she also comes with a fully serviced long-distance trailer.

Owner’s Comments

Purchased in 2024, having been little used since her launch in 2008 and always kept in dry storage, we spent the winter of 2024/25 refitting the boat with no expense spared. She was fully winterised and stored in the CYH heated events centre, and now benefits from new Dyform rigging and a complete set of new sails and overall covers from Sanders Sails (Spring ’25). Having previously renovated a Tofinou 7 to the same standard, we traded up to the 9.5m with the intention of cherishing her for the long term. However, in February ’25 we purchased a new house in a location that no longer makes it viable to use the boat as intended.
