Great long term cruising boat, perfect for a couple. Sturdy and made for ocean cruising, yet fast (we crossed the Atlantic from Mindelo to Bequia in less than 12 days) and comfortable. Boat size manageable by shorthanded crew (you can still carry a sail to the foredeck or for example take the mainsail down for repairs if need be). Very well build with perfect joinery and woodwork with well thought details. Well insulated and suitable for higher latitudes, too, as we found proof in Alaska. Sheltered center cockpit.
Still love it after 7 years of ownership in 5 years of intensive cruising (35.000 nm).
