The Sonata national championship 2024, race 3

[@petestack]

Impala sailor and David Thomas fan here, so happy to see this featured! I remember when the Sonatas first came to Helensburgh Sailing Club (no, we didn't have one!), with probably many/most of the previous Hunter 19/Europa sailors switching to them.

my previous boat was a David Thomas Intro 22, which i heard somewhere the excellent Sonata was based off

According to David Harding's 'Buying Secondhand' PBO article (available on the Sonata site), the inspiration/model was actually the Quarto quarter tonner, but who knows when the Intro seems a closer match in some ways?
