What the model is suitable for
conditionally suitable for blue-water sailing and long-distance cruising
British cruising catamaran with a conventional rig, solid laminate below the waterline and structural Kevlar reinforcements. For ocean passages there is only one dealer report of a damage-free ARC. The data situation is very thin: no shipyard data sheet, no dedicated forum thread, contradictory information on the core material.
