Cons

Weight: The moderate displacement contributes to a heavier feel under sail, which can affect acceleration and maneuverability.
Interior Finish: Some owners note that the interior finish, while functional and comfortable, may not be as high-end or refined compared to other boats in its class.
Limited Upwind Ability: The hull and rig design prioritize cruising ease over racing performance, which can result in less efficient upwind sailing.
Maintenance: As with many older boats, upkeep of systems and fittings can require attention, especially if the boat has seen extensive use.
