What the model is suitable for
suitable with restrictions for blue-water sailing and long-distance cruising
A comfortable, value-stable cruising boat with which several owners have crossed the Atlantic. The weak point is the hull: the balsa core extends to just below the waterline, and the structural score is only 29,8. Suitable for the trade-wind route if the hull and deck fittings have been surveyed and upgraded.
