Interesting boat. I'd like to try one.

I looked at one a number of years ago at the Annapolis show. They were sort
of like an Ultimate 30. Almost no freeboard. They were inexpensive for a 30
footer but there wasn't much there. I don't know if they are still in
production. A similar boat is the Carrera 29.
This boat is in production and seems like a similar concept except it's
easier to sail.

My friend Andrew, who is in his late 60's, has two boats. One a Carrera 29.

Way-to-go Andrew!

A couple of years ago a Carrera 29 won the Governors Cup on the Chesapeake.

A friend of mine tried to sail one, considering moving into it from his
Olson 30... didn't like it. He claimed it was "very tender" (interesting
comment from a guy who sails an O-30) and "squirrelly" which I took to
mean that he couldn't manhandle the tiller like on the O-30 which has an
undersized rudder.

It is a very interesting bot but for looks I'd prefer the Henderson 30.
The Cheetah looks like it's a good bit more practical to trailer.

BTW have you seen the Antrim 27?

These things rate level with the F-27 tri and often beat them boat-for-boat.

It wouldn't last one day in the Houston-Galveston area. - a seven-foot
draft just won't cut it.
