Hi Irwin Owners. We are currently looking at upgrading to a larger boat and would like some feedback regarding Irwin 38CC How well do they sail, reaching, upwind etc. We are sailing in the Great Lakes and at sometime would like to take the boat down the intercoastal. Is the Irwin 38 safe enough to take coastal and down around the florida and the island.

Also, questions about compression posts. Do not know alot about them. More familiar with thru hull masts. Are there pros and cons for compression verus thur hull. How does the compression post attach to the mast? Or is the mast deckstepped at the bulkhead and the compression post distributes loads below.

If anyone has any information that could help provide some knowledge on these topics it would be greatly appreciated.
