IMPRESSIONS OF THE BOAT:The boat does well in light winds and the boats sail winch performs well for its main sail. The other sails are free moving. The boat would sail up to 15mph winds with a small bit of lead shot ballast in its hull. It has plenty of freeboard (hull heighth above the water) for additional ballast to lower its center of gravity. This can be bought from a fishing bait and tackle shop.
The boats motor is very powerful and moves it along extremely well.
