Finally a sailboat review that focuses on how the boat sails and why. Kudos!!

Gorgeous boat, fantastic review

A couple of good jam cleats & the jib & main could use the same winch ??? Reminds me of the Kiwi Davidson 44 another fast great boat bit long in the tooth now but still cleaning up most 'New' ones . Top boat & nice presentation .

I can't believe the entry to the interior hasn't been changed for so long. There's a 2022 Nordship 420 that actually has the old wooden bi-fold door that hinges out and gets held to the face of the opening, exactly like my friend's 1987 Wellcraft Nova 23. Some have multiple panels that you have to stow, some have hinge doors, and the best have some type of pocket door where the panel hides inside when open. That whole area needs a re-do!

Nice review

You should do more reviews. They are above and beyond average. Toby Hodges, take note!

respectfully the only thing I might change is to bring the magnetic compass back to the helm position (one each side) - as it is currently configured - that distance away from the helm not only would it be hard to see and read - but also has the potential to suffer from parallax error - otherwise she appears to sail like a treat.
