1980 |
Års erfarenhetet av modellen: |
2 år, Familje & kappsegling |
Normal besättning: |
2 person(er) |
Seglingsegenskaperna: |
The ship is very fast. There is no need to reef below 5 Beaufort, meaning full mainsail and 110% genua can be used. Is faster than the LYS-figure indicates. Boat goes quickly to one side, but remains at 25 degrees. Very good on upwind, keeps track. Withstands bad wx. |
Hur det är att bo i båten: |
You feel save at the rudder. Living comfort for 3 adults at maximum. Good nav seat and effective kitchen. Plenty of stowing room. |
Positiva egenskaper: |
Strongly built and safe feeling. Lots of ways to trim the boat. Standard bilge handpump, selftacking jib, rigid rig, backstays, build for speed and comfort. No osmosis after 30 years. |
Problem / svaga punkter: |
Harbour manoeuvres needs some feeling for the long keeled boat: let the boat do it for you by his inertion, do not try to override the boat in the harbour. |
Genomförda förbättringar: |
Found no real big improvement proposal up till now. |
Övriga kommentarer: |
If you come across a Lord Helmsman, ask the owner if he really wants to sell the boat. Once a Lord Helmsman and you will not need anything else for years to come |
