“With its long, lean hull, sweeping overhangs, carbon fiber rig and modern underbody, this boat looks so gorgeous under sail that it is hard to tear your eyes away. And if that’s not a winning attribute, nothing is. The boat’s sailing characteristics affirm the old saw that ‘if it looks right, it is right’—fingertip steering, a fine turn of speed, and a beautiful view along the deck to that fine bow.”
