Designed by the prolific Polish naval architect Andrzej Skrzat, the Sportina 680 stands as a definitive example of the European trailersailer movement of the late 1990s. Initially produced by the shipyard then known as Sportlake—which would later evolve into the internationally recognized Delphia Yachts—this 6.8meter (approximately 22.3 feet) cruiser was engineered to satisfy a growing demand for inland and coastal versatility. Known in various European markets under different monikers, including the Clever 23, Pretty 23, and Caribu, the model’s success lies in its marriage of a relatively lightweight displacement (approximately 1,100 to 1,200 kg) with a functional lifting keel system. This design choice, reflective of its heritage in the shallow Masurian Lakes of Poland, allows the vessel to navigate in as little as 0.3 meters of water while maintaining sufficient stability for coastal hopping with the keel fully extended to 1.4 meters.
