As a former dealer who introduced this boat and sailed it, it has many pluses. The only thing I found if wind is off the beam while docking, learn to point the bow into the wind a little in order to go straight and then turn the bow when you are near the dock.
I am nowhere to call but if you want me to, give me your phone number and location in an email next week via this forum, I will call you. I just did that with Regular Guy. In the future, I would suggest the small boats as that is where the 25 foks generally are at.
