What the model is suitable for
conditionally suitable for blue-water sailing and long-distance cruising
Fast, light daggerboard catamaran with a good fit-out, but with a well-documented structural problem across the entire series: the main bulkheads delaminate under mast compression, and the forums expressly advise against it. For ocean passages, only a boat whose bulkheads and crossbeams have demonstrably been reinforced to the shipyard's specification is worth considering. In addition, there are open helm stations without weather protection.
