I've not been paying attention... so it has a retractable sprit, but it's deck mounted? Oh boy.
Yep, that picture isn't helping much either... the cut of that jib is REALLY not helping.
You know I like the lines from aft.
The room below is impressive, and the layout smart... What is best is the head. Where it is located makes it quite large (important for the fairer sex, and guys like me old and fat, using the head on the Capri 22, or my 25 is painful (literally banging your head on the bolts to the hatch))...
It's probably a quick boat... at least as quick as an S2 7.9, which is substantial... no it's not a sport boat (which is why the name is probably a bad choice).
What I can't get over is.. the clothed it in light blue (a very old scheme color), and put what look like low budget sails on it (they likely aren't since they are Doyle, but they LOOK low budget).
Again some positives? The deck going forward seems wide, the cockpit huge! I think it'd be a nice sailing boat. It's obvious that it's upwind performance was sacrificed somewhat for sailing hot angles off wind with the asym. I bet the boat would be a SCREAMER with a 130-140% genoa on that roller, and if it did some deck sweep with it, all of a sudden upwind would be nearly as fun as down.
Thanks to the Capri 22, and the Capri 25, my tastes for looks lead me to think THIS is what a sexy 26 footer should look like (Left Coast Dart):
Or go to something like this (Tripp 33):
Yep it's trailerable(barely):
I mean there is also the Hobie 33, but it's pretty ugly too (but fast as anything).
