I'll have a synopsis up shortly. The review was quite glowing and confirmed that the first 135 hulls or so were produced the first year with the aft galley configuration.
Many sailors use their crafts as live-aboard homes and a means to get away for extended periods.
One of the trade-offs a blue water sailor has to make is between the supposedly greater stability and tracking ability of the full keel design compared to the better speed of the relatively newer fin keel designs. Is this a real issue or have builders been able to give us both speed and stability through contemporary design and materials technology. I think they have. The first separated keel rudder combination that I designed was a little boat we built about twenty seven years ago called the Renegade. It was in the beginning of the era of the separated underbodies.
