An H25 at 1.95?
When I bought my 75 H25, my friends thought that I was buying a boat that was less than seaworthy. I had read that it was a good boat, originally designed for off shore racing (is this correct?). Am I now to believe that this is the boat that will take me to the Bahamas (Capsize ratio 1.95), or beyond? I love the boat. It does what it is supposed to do (It seems to have wonderful control over the sails). As I get better at my sailing skills, Chorro (my boat)is ready to take advantage of my new skills. If my skills, knowledge, equiptment, and confidence reach the level that make me comfortable, could I really go anywhere on this boat? No, of course not. My question is, are my basic assumptions about this boat correct? Is it a classic design that made the rules, keeps the rules, and does what a sailboat should?
