General Coments

Reflection has excellent performance: She is close winded and accelerates rapidly to give good speeds. Stephen Jones’s well engineered design gives her exceptional strength and stability suitable for ocean crossings. The Rival Bowman build is considered to be much superior in quality to that of the earlier Sadler boats. Reflection's exterior good looks combine with a comfortable and attractive layout below deck with well thought out storage. She has wide side decks and the cockpit is comfortable with all controls to hand.

Her new Volvo engine makes her an ideal future-proofed cruiser for years to come.
