.But in the water she is not so ugly.

Still the builder and current owner has a sense of humour to call her Troll.

It is not the sails that make it ugly though, it is the desperation to fit in more internal accommodation than the hull can happily carry. See any 1970s cruiser under 30 feet for a further example.

Clearly a huge amount of work went into that, and the finish looks pretty good, if not the finished product.
