Designed for today’s sailing realities, the Reacher 780 accommodates up to four people in an open and airy interior, perfect for day sailing, weekend breaks, or even longer camping-style adventures. Its lightweight build and 2.54m beam allow it to easily trail, while the lifting keel ensures you access every hidden cove or shallow beach. The Reacher’s advanced design delivers impressive performance, whether you’re gliding through light winds or chasing double-digit speeds on a downwind run.
The Reacher 780 is perfect for various adventures: relaxed cruising, offshore sailing… Whether you’re sharing an unforgettable day on the water with family, racing with a tight-knit crew, or enjoying the freedom of a solo charter, the Reacher 780 adapts effortlessly to your plans. Designed to even handle the challenges of offshore sailing, it delivers exceptional stability and performance in open waters. With a modular and innovative design, the Reacher 780 offers unparalleled flexibility, with comfort and performance features that you can customize to suit the moment.
The Reacher’s 780 open interior plan allows for different accommodations and comfortable combinations, giving you the choice to use it as it suits you: 2+2, 1+1+1+1, or something in between. Portable features, such as a cooker or fridge, can be easily added or removed, adapting the boat to your needs. From quick getaways to exhilarating regattas, this trailable sailboat is your ticket to rediscovering the joy of smaller boats without sacrificing performance or comfort.
A small boat like the Reacher 780 definitely has some upwind speed limitations because of the hull/waterline length, but its modern design will give you opportunities for much faster sailing in other directions.
We believe sailing should be for everyone, not just for those who can afford a luxury yacht or gather a large crew. That’s why the Reacher 780 offers affordable ownership options, low maintenance costs, and even shared-use programs, making it more accessible than ever.
