What the model is suitable for
conditionally suitable for blue-water sailing and long-distance cruising
A very large cruising catamaran (18,10 m according to the proposal list) with a resin-infused hull and balsa core. For two people, the size is a challenge in terms of sail handling forces, systems and maintenance. An owner's report of a hull-deck joint that came apart during transport is an unresolved individual case, and blue-water experience is lacking.
