What the model is suitable for
suitable with restrictions for blue-water sailing and long-distance cruising
Robustly built, comfortable catamaran with a covered forward cockpit that has demonstrably handled Atlantic crossings fully loaded. For long ocean passages, the arguments against her are the low bridgedeck clearance with slamming and pitching, a balsa core with an open question regarding the underwater hull, and known weaknesses in the saloon windows and rudder bearings. Suitable for the trade-wind route with two people, provided these points have been checked on the specific boat.
