CIGALE 15 QR
example of a very well equipped cigle 15 QR is priced at 1,399,254 €
The Cigale 15 is outfitted with a hybrid INTEGREL alternator with a Victron System, adapting the Volvo diesel engine’s spare power to produce up to 9kW of energy that’s stored in a 48V battery bank and replaces a standard generator. That, along with premium sails by Incidence Sails, Europe’s foremost sail loft, and a full B&G navigation package, highlight some of the included equipment.
performance aluminum sailboat
Experience the thrill of performance sailing with the Cigale 15. Discover the advantages of its aluminum construction, hydraulic lifting keel system, and efficient deck layout.
Fast and elegant, the Cigale 15 is built using 100% aluminum to ensure your safety.
The hydraulic lifting keel system allows owners access to shallow water areas, giving them the advantage of finding secure anchorages without sacrificing performance.
The efficient and simple deck layout allows a short-handed crew to sail the full potential of the boat without any effort.
The combination of the lifting keel and the standard carbon mast are major assets for efficient and comfortable performance sailing.
