What the model is suitable for

suitable with restrictions for blue-water sailing and long-distance cruising

Easy-to-handle cruising catamaran with fixed keels that has been sailed by owners across the South Atlantic and through heavy seas in the Gulf Stream. Usable for the trade-wind route with two people, but with low bridgedeck clearance, tight payload and weakly evidenced structure. Around two thirds of the series ran in charter (140 of 216); frames, window bonding and forward door belong in the survey.
