Nice boat, there is one at my marina, but they are a classic "old shoe"! ie SLOW! or as I sometimes say, " slower than a dead slug going backwards"

BUT, with that in mind. Frankly, EVERYONE I know with one, luvs them! well built, handles the cold weather in winter, etc etc. For summer sailing, if this boat does not have furling, and you want to sail on the lazy windless or shall we say lack of wind ie under 6-8 knots, do as a lot of us that race, buy yourself a light wt, typically heavy nylon in the 3oz range geno or drifter/reacher, and you will be able to sail a bit better than a dacron 155 up!

I know a person in Edmonds with one, if you want to talk with them.
