Gear that's been added We added hatches ,so we could store everything below deck...  
Structural or complex improvements No  
The boat's best features comfortable layout,easy to rig,well thought out controls....  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Not 100% self bailing with 4 adults in boat...  
Sailing characterisitcs Very easy to sail,great performance and pointing ability,will sail well in medium wind with board up in shallow water,Its a great "family fun boat"and thats why we bought it...  
Motoring characterisitcs Works great with evinrude 4 hp  
Liveability I would live on it in a pinch...
