Had one for about 4 years - many miles from Cooktown to Tasmania and round Bass Strait. Nothing but praise. Realistic off shore speeds 5.5knots + . She'll do 7/7.5 kn with 15 kn wind on the beam, but tacks through about 110 degrees if you want to keep any speed up on the wind. Very pretty boat and an excellent (dry) sea boat.
