If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes, best boat I've ever owned

The boat's best features Ease of single handing, motion in big seas

Sailing characterisitcs great in all winds. Light air I use an asimetrical spinaker which keeps the boat moving  
Motoring characterisitcs 6 knots  
Liveability very comfortable and logically laid out
