I don't know much about it - its an early sixties design, I think, low and narrow with a cosy interior. Galley and chart table are on the small side as are the heads and forecabin, but this is pretty much standard for a cruiser racer of the time. They sail well for their year - well balanced and quick, if wet, to windward. There are not particular reports of heavy weather helm.

All this is by repute - I have no personal experience - though I have been aboard one

Sailed on one about a month ago. Heavy helm though not particilarly weather, just heavy. Sails like a long keel MAB, which she is, with a reasonably spacious (but I didn't sleep on her) interior. Probably doesn't help much - oh, around 1040PY.
