Read my assessment of the boat, especially as a single hander, he

There are four of us and it's a great four person boat but will sleep
six for shorter cruises if the double extendable settee is used.
Unlike many boats that sleep six, it will also sail six and even eight
comfortably and six people can sit comfortably at the cabin table for
dinner.

A lot of ganja got smoked while these boat were being built so there
are a lot of funny angles in the interior joinerwork which gives them
a kind of hobbit like charm. It's all real wood however and one of
the pleasantest interiors I've seen in this price and size range.

The hulls and decks are solid and thick so there are no core problems
to worry about. These boats will be around long after most of their
contemporaries are gone.

The handling qualities are what I like best about the boat.

Ours is a 1980, the next to the last year and the first with the teak
cabin sole that adds a lot to the boat.

There's more than any rational and sane person would ever want to know
about the boat on my web site at:
