We just brought her up from Florida to New Bern, NC. The wind was on the nose at twenty knots or better 99% of the time. I don't anticipate that she will set the world on fire under sail. I think she will be slow, heavy and very seaworthy. The last owner sailed her for twenty seven years from Nova Scotia to the Med and Caribbean. She's a little bit of overkill for what we do but we just like her...it's like falling in love with an ugly girl who has a big heart and can cook her butt off!
