"the best second hand boat you've never heard of"
"beautifully balanced, close-winded and with a motion that could rock you to sleep, she was clearly designed for the kind of weather most people try to avoid" PBO Feb 2000 (issue 398)
"... a sweet handler with the sort of directional stability I would expect from a long keeled design ... not a fussy boat to sail... partly due to her balance" Yachting Monthly Nov 1974
"deliciously responsive, well mannered and enjoys being sailed ... I urge you to try her" PBO November 1977
