Boat Review:
So far, We love it, no problems other than we paid to much and had a nightmare of a transport. We have been out in dead calm 100 degrees, to 12 footers and 35 kt. winds and 40 degrees. We have always felt safe and secure. We have AC, heat, refrigeration, and basic electronics. Full batten main and 135% genoa. We take the first reef at 21 apparent. Some weather helm, but not unmanageable. Upgrading electronics in the coming year or two. We are not racers, but sail every weekend from earley April till the end of October. Wishing for more on deck storage space, there is NONE on deck now.

We have a 38C and 3 batteries (2-house, 8Ds, and the starting, 1 120ah gel) are under the aft queen berth, a fourth is located under the V berth forward. (8D dedicated to the windlass). They are relatively easy to get to by moving the cushions and lifting the access board.
