I have owned one for 9 years and love it. My wife, daughter and I race it in Wednesday Night series and have a ball. They are a bit tender in stiff winds, need to reef early or enlist rail meat to keep her on her feet otherwise weather helm slows her down. Mine is the fin keel, 4.5' draft. Have sailed in everything from drifter to hurricane Ike (Trying to get home). Judicious use of sails and it was a fine trip. I have all lines lead aft so I single hand on a frequent basis with no problems. As was said earlier, it is not a trailer sailer as it takes a few hands to step and rig the mast safely and needs a good steep ramp to get off of the trailer.
