More details about this boat. This boat is in very good condition and is strongly built. I completed the Texas 200 in this boat without incident. The speed of this boat is faster than most on a reach and a run, but it does not point as high into the wind as some boats with more complex rigging. At a messabout with 20 boats, I was second to return from a rendezvous five miles from the ramp. The best features are easy of rigging, ease and comfort when sailing, ease of reefing, safety, and ease of coming into the shore. It has a kick-up lee board and rudder. With the lazy jacks deployed, you can douse the sail, not get hit in the head, then glide up to the shore as the rudder and lee board fold up when they touch bottom. You can easily carry two adult passengers. There is plenty of room in the forward and aft storage bins for camping gear. It is a safe boat that will float high if capsized, which I have never done in 20 years of use, sometimes in dangerous conditions. or phone 918-261-one-one-nine-two
