Cons

Requires Active Crew: To get the best performance, the boat needs an attentive and skilled crew, which may be challenging for casual sailors.
Performance in Light Air: While excellent in moderate winds, it can be less effective in very light wind conditions compared to lighter dinghies or ultralight boats.
Fixed Keel: The fixed keel limits access to shallow waters and may complicate launching in some areas compared to boats with retractable keels.
Limited Storage: Storage space is minimal, so it’s best suited for day sailing rather than longer excursions requiring gear.
