What the model is suitable for
well suited for blue-water sailing and long-distance cruising
Solidly built cruising boat for a couple with CE Category A, watertight bulkheads, isolated keels and cutter rig. The few voices are unanimously positive about the build quality. Limitations are the balsa core in the deck and superstructure, the thin data base and the dwindling yard support.
