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: "Many of these boats are put to the test of extended offshore passages, and there are a few details I am not particularly fond of for offshore sailing."
