mabie99	posted 04-29-2009 09:26 AM ET (US)             I owned one for several years and learned to sail on it. It's a fine boat for what it is and I'll be glad to talk with you about it. The fin keel really limited it as a trailer sailor as I remember towing it 400 miles to the coast and not being able to launch it. However, that keel gives it the stability an inexperienced sailor might appreciate. It obviously points well, but is no race ship. Pat
