What the model is suitable for

well suited for blue-water sailing and long-distance cruising

Light, fast bluewater catamaran with foam core in hull and deck, carbon and Twaron reinforcement and daggerboards. Ocean passages and circumnavigations are documented; in the trade winds it sails fast with ease. Limitations are exposed helm stations, weak ventilation for the tropics, sensitive daggerboards and difficult yard support.
