Design and Construction
sailboatdata.com lists a fin keel with a skeg-hung rudder, 33.17 ft overall on a 27.25 ft waterline, 10.75 ft of beam and 5.75 ft of draft. Displacement is 10,140 lb with 4,188 lb of ballast, a ballast ratio above 40 percent, and the fractional sloop carries about 495 sq ft.
Under Sail
Owners describe her as one of the best balanced cruiser-racers of her size and a delight on the helm, with a powerful fractional rig that suits short or single handing. One notes a quirk that makes wind-vane steering difficult with the wind abeam.
Buyers Notes
John Neal rates it 3 of 5 for good design and quality construction. Its capsize screen value of 1.99 sits at the usual offshore guideline.
