Horner reviews the thinking behind this design, its construction methods, and its history, including pricing history. He identifies design or construction problems that have been found in older boats. Comments include: "It seems clear that speed and sailing performance, not accommodations, were the priorities of this design. When it?s time to go sailing, the fun starts."
