OneEyedJack said: The only problem we had was with the sliding door between the saloon and the bridge deck. It would not stay locked in the open position while underway. On de-brief, it was revealed that this is a common complaint about this boat. That was two years ago and it may have been fixed by now. The boat is horrible going to windward. The tacking angles are huge and your VMG will be crap. Expect to motor-sail a lot. We had the same issue with the door last month (we had the owners suite version) We bungee'd it open when the going was easy...on the 30+kts into the wind going to the NS we locked it and left the key in the hole. At first we had put one of those floating key thingy's in the track, but that didn't prove to be strong enough.
