The boat's best features	I like how easy it is to trailer and how fun it is to sail.
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.	The lock down for the Keel is too big now, someone hit a sand bar and the hole for the lockdown bolt is too big now and leaks a bit.
Sailing characterisitcs
Motoring characterisitcs	I have a Yamaha two stroke six horse motor and it handles fine. I wouldn't say that ir goes real fast but it works well.
Liveability	I think I'll have fun camping on it from time to time. The cabin is small but adequate for short trips.

The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any	NA
Other comments	She is an old boat and needs a bit of TLC. I feel it is a good investment for my family.
