She is a Cat Boat. Rudder is a barn door hanging off the transom. Sail is
being built with 2 reefs.


And with any luck, you will get a chance to use them! Catboats are a
lot of fun to sail, and (imho) part of the fun is they really don't
handle like plain-vanilla garden-variety run-of-the-mill mass-produced
fin-keel marconi sloops. It's a whole different flavor!

Never owned a "New" boat before.


The one and only time I ever bought a brand-new boat, we had several
issues. But Marshall has a great rep so it should be fine.

I will take this
one to the grave.


Why commit too soon? You can have as many "last boats" as you want.
