It is absolutely astonishing that a design that originated almost a half a century ago continues to attract such enthusiasm from sailors. I'm about to buy one. In a post-2k world where sailboat designs are coming - and going - at an astonishing rate. A design that balances performance, seakindliness, and seaworthiness in a beautiful in a financially accessible package - that is priceless. And, still in production 44 years later so far as I can tell.
