I just did a bit of searching on the net. It's a Bill Garden design. A small boat designed for cruising so I wouldn't look for much performance. On the other hand, if you want a small boat for coastal cruising that could safely bring you home it might be a good choice. (don't know about the construction)

If you like to be competitive at all it's not the boat for you. The fact that you asked if it can point makes me think that you may want to look further.

Perhaps a racer/cruiser (rather than a dedicated cruiser) would be a better choice.

Just my .02 worth.
