If you want a salty boat look for something along the lines

Don't know what a Tamarisk is

Here's a Tamarsik:

but the Micro has a higher LPOS than the Cornish
Crabber and will make ground to weather in conditions that will have the Crabber
scudding off to leeward.

That's a really ignorant thing to say. You've obviously never sailed a
crabber or one like her. I have and they do work to wind in a gale quite
well. No bolger box design will go to wind in a gale as well as a
crabber -the hull shape won't permit it.
