The boat's best features Roomy cockpit & cabin  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Running rigging has been a problem, water supply system (poor quality pumps, Poor access to add new wiring for electronics. Sail battens slip out of pockets and are lost overboard. Mooring cleats were significantly undersized & placement allows for Mooring Penants to become unsecured  
Sailing characterisitcs poor visibility from cockpit. Otherwise seaworthy
