There are many opening ports for great ventilation and natural light and a Webasto forced air diesel heater to keep the boat cozy and dry on crisp evening sails and cold mornings in the off-season.

Sails and Rigging
The owners had new rod rigging installed in 2014 and have replaced all the running rigging since then. New sails were made in 2015 and they keep a full set of racing and cruising sails depending on their desires. The boat is a capable racer and with the combination of good sails, rigging, and a well-designed hull with a deep fin keel, you have a performance cruiser that is a competitive racer.
