Owner bought the boat in 2014  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes  
Gear that's been added Led lighting Extra Solar Extra batteries  
Structural or complex improvements No  
The boat's best features Space in cabin and cockpit Handling in 2-3 meter seas Galley  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Throttle also shuts off engine. Start button is at companionway entrance. Bad combination when docking.  
Sailing characterisitcs Likes to reach and run Likes upwind in light air Not so much in heavy air with shoal keel  
Motoring characterisitcs Steams along nicely Backing up is a nightmare  
Liveability Excellent for two people. With a custom solar driven fridge freezer and 100 gal of water we are good for several weeks away from civilization.
