I like her a lot. Sails like a dream, balances easily, handles a blow comfortably. The side decks are narrow; I would have narrowed the cabin by six inches or so on each side. I had a Cape Dory 27 before, possibly the nicest-sailing CD. The Sea Sprite seems to be swifter than any Cape Dory I've sailed near. The other boats you're thinking of look swell, though I much prefer a full keel for Maine waters.
