Structural or complex improvements No  
The boat's best features Its simplicity. Its comfortable and quite fast  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Nothing bad to report. Things have worn out over the last 40+ years as expected but nothing bad to report  
Sailing characterisitcs Its a fast boat under sail and under power (see motoring comments)  
Motoring characterisitcs After I changed the propeller to a Michigan Wheel 3 bladed sailor prop, this boat changed for the better remarkably. so  
Liveability I Lived on it for 3 years all 4 seasons in Newengland. Very comfortable
