Chartered one for 10 days out of
Guadeloupe in '06. Sailed to Marie Galante,
Dominica, The Saints and back. The
boat sailed very well in open
water on all points of sail. Fast and comfortable. Best leg was Marie Galante to
Dominica, beam & broad reaching with quartering seas = quick trip, some surfing and hitting double digits at times.
Twin wheels are good for visibility, transom pass-thru & comfort while
steering but shortens the
cockpit seating & nap position.
V-berth
head stole too much room, one large
head would be fine. An owners version with 2 cabins,
storage and one large head would be great.
If you are looking to buy, definitely check the
mast compression,
deck integrity,
cabin support post and v-berth
cabin entry frame / door integrity which can disclose a problem in that area.
