Used Simoun 485 Sailboats for Sale

The Gouteron Simoun 485 is a spirited and accessible fractional sloop, crafted by the innovative French builder Gouteron (Chantier). Emerging in 1972, this approximately 16-foot monohull was conceived as a versatile centerboard dinghy, designed for both coastal exploration and straightforward recreational sailing. It embodies Gouteron's philosophy of creating practical, fun, and accessible sailing vessels, making it an appealing choice for beginners and enthusiasts seeking a reliable day sailor. Designed in-house by Chantiers Gouteron, the Simoun 485 built upon the success of its smaller sibling, the Simoun 445, offering a slightly more performance-oriented experience within the small boat segment.
