The boat's best features	a great sailer in all winds, comfortable large cockpit. plenty of storage nice cabin with sitting headroom. good looking boat.
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.	I moved the mainsheet from the backstay to the frontof the cockpit on the bridgedeck.
Sailing characterisitcs	She is lively and very well balanced. very light helm. very predictable a lot of fun to sail.
Motoring characterisitcs	she motors fine with my 4 hp mercury
Liveability	it's a 22 footer. I just moved down from a 40 footer so accomodations are tight but functional for a weekend or maybe a week.

The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any	private owner
Other comments	I've owned several boats and really like this one a lot. Even better my wife likes it too. so much easier to sail than our previous 40 footer. Lot's of fun sailing and comfortable at the dock.
