SARGO 33

Simply due to sheer volume and popularity, many of the used boats we feature are built by large organisations often employing thousands of people, so it’s nice to occasionally show a boat from a smaller and slightly more niche manufacturer. Sargo is a case in point. Edy Sarin started building boats under the Minor brand over 50 years ago in Ostrobothnia, situated along Finland’s West Coast. He and his wife Lillemor developed both the range and the business, which has stayed firmly within the family, now headed up by their son, Thomas Sarin. In 2014, Thomas brought out the largest model yet, the 36 and also changed the brand name to Sargo to reflect the brand’s ever increasing global reach – Minor doesn’t translate well into some languages.
