Yes the idea of basically flat areas formed with GRP was a bad start and the historical wooden cabin sides in sub optimal condition really worked against the boat although from a respected Architect.But that was many years ago and I think we went for the Albin Vega.As of this momment there are about three choices here in Galicia…….but this afternoon after imbibing a pleasant Rioja “reserva” I am undone
