Nearly bought one a few years ago. Sailed it a few times - went like a train to windward but has a narrow beam so was a bit of a handfull in heavier winds when going downwind.
Accomodation was a bit basic but sound enough.
Would have bought it but found a pristine refitted Jaguar 27 which won the day.
I'm sure some were built in Ireland so don't know what their build quality was like.
If you find a nice one would be worth getting.
