I can tell you they were built right down the road a bit in Port Richey,
Florida, USA. One of the guys who used to run the plant keeps his boat in
the marina where I work. We recently had a 23-footer in for a bottom job.
The keel (fixed) was cracked and had to be repaired. Also, when viewed from
the front, the keel was not hanging straight. Is this the norm? No idea;
this is the first Sovereign I've seen.

That said, if you e-mail some specific questions, I'll give them to the guy
I mentioned and hopefully he'll respond better than my last attempt to help
someone on this NG (different person, different subject!).

Regards,

Bob

I own a 1981 Sovereign 5.0 (17 foot). My question is, why do all the sailing pictures show the foot of the sail 4 foot off the top of the cabin and the design drawings show the main 2 foot up the mast. I just put a Victoria sail on mine. Fit perfectly. This is the best pocket cruiser I have ever owned but I never see them and there is no information on them anywhere. No history, no manuals, and all of the user groups are extinct. I know the company was in South Florida, but long gone.

So, with your 17 or 18 foot sailboats,
do you sail out into the open ocean?
