Probably not. I think it would be one of those plays that you look at base price and start lowering based on everything the survey reveals wrong...and stick to it. No wiggling at all. Given that its a ketch with 44' mast (vs Pearson Ketch's with 52 or 58' masts), it's not going to be a racer by any means.
