I've seen the boat in San Carlos ...a bit too much windage to suit me, especially in view of the 4' draft ...but still a nice boat - I thought it, basically, a power boat, but with some sailing capabilities. I would rather power North along the West coast in this boat than in some of the underpowered "sailboats" I've seen slogging back North. Hauling such a boat back to the U.S. has become a very expensive proposition of late, and many owners seem not to have the stomach for sailing them back. There are many good cruising boats languishing on the hard in Marina Seca in San Carlos (at bargain prices) for that very reason.
