I'll bet it probably sails pretty well, it's in great shape and it's most likely under 20K. I not crazy about the looks either but it sure suits his purposes. Heck, I'm not crazy about the looks of MY boat. If looks were all that counted I'd have a nice S&S design. Instead I've got a boat that requires minimal upkeep and that I can cruise anywhere on the Chesapeake. Cookie's got a good daysailer with nice accomodations in his price range and ready to sail. Perfect for his use.
