Hi. Glad you enjoyed it. Now that we have lived with her for a while we should do a more in depth review because apart from the windward sailing ability we are more and more impressed with her as a family cruising boat.

Considering buying but you really gave me a good hint about it’s ability to go up wind. I can’t imagine buying a boat that can’t sail upwind . So thanks for this hint. Will continue looking for a better all round boat.

Hi Erick. Now we have had her for 18 months and I have a much better idea of the good and bad points I really should make a follow up film. Ours does sail better upwind now that we have new sails and a folding propeller (although its still not great) but I do feel pretty confident that the full keel version would do even better. However as soon as you crack off onto a fetch the extra speed helps the keel dig in and she sails very well. Given that she was brought for family cruises and the family dont like crashing upwind through east coast chop anyway so we just switch the motor on, she is actually proving to be an excellent boat and one that given this one limitation I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Is it comfortable for 186cm tall person to sleep and go around downstairs the boat?

[@SailingwiththeFoxwellFamily]

Being short I cant say for sure but I would say yes. There is good headroom throughout and the rear cabins are long enough. You wouldn't fit in the V birth though
