I participated in a "sea" trial of on Lake Union. It balanced nicely. Slow speed maneuvering was responsive and predictable. Didn't have a chance to try it in sporty conditions. I saw the owners recently and after 2-3 years they still love the boat.
Yes, a nice boat for a couple.
My recollection is the cockpit table support made bracing while heeling not a problem.
Build quality was excellent.
The people who run the company were hugely responsive and had a reputation for great service. They answered a couple of my questions and customer questions quickly.
The interior layout is quite unconventional. The forward area can be closed off for sleeping, but when makes the boat seem much bigger. I'm talking about a Gozzard 37.
My personal preference would be to take the same length overall and extend the hull instead. But they are purty to look at.
