DDW. She's like any other cat with the wind on the beam. You never know which way she's about to jump. The more you get the wind aft of the beam the better the ride. She has a high enough center so she doesn't take the wave hits that some cats do while beating with the wind forward but still gets slammed once in a while. She's in good shape, big generator, lots of solar, 30 gallon per hour water-maker washer and drier combination and she's for sail in Fort Lauderdale. I just sailed over a thousand miles on her and I can say that I was comfortable and rested the entire way. The sling seat in the back helped out with that as did the nice big bed.
