Here in the land of big buildings, sand and sunshine. Boat is very new but a lot of fun to sail. Our first outing in 15-17 knots of wind, just trying to make sure she works. All I can say is she seems very fast and easy to sail upwind. Nice a stiff but easy to sail through the chop. And downwind, loves to take off. We were hitting wind speed fairly easy. I would compare it to a small TP type of a boat. or M 32 that goes upwind…
Sails and Spar look quite good. Boat is strong and stiffly built. And the best part is, it came out light in the first weighing. way under 4 ton in IRC measurement trim. We will be sailing over the next few days. Will report more later…
We plan to race this boat in Europe starting in Barcelona in May, then on to St Tropez, Valencia and ending in Palma for Copa del Rey…
