Maxi's Sea Sprite 34:
A devastingly old underbody combined with some serious weight and a
small rig make for a boat that needs real air to be at her best. If
Maxi is carrying older sails he's really in trouble.

Newer high-tech cruising laminates, actually. And she does half the wind
speed over 5kts of wind. Not too bad for a "devastatingly old underbody
combined with some serious weight."
