She sails extremely well! Not some cruising beachball. When you go for a cruise up the coast you can sit on between 7 and 10 Knots. It is very rare that a sailing yacht will go past you.

So you want to race? This yacht can properly be raced.
She comes with both cruising and racing sails. Including 2 2021 near new racing jibs, plus some older ones, 3 Mainsails, 3 Spinnakers ( Symetrical and Assymetrical, Removable bow sprit and Spinnaker Pole.

The Volvo Penta 55 HP Motor is also one of the most reliable engines with plenty of grunt to help you a long when the wind is not doing the right thing. The Volvo Mechanic believes these engines are good for 20 to 30 thousand hours. She has a Sail drive with a 3 Blade folding prop.

Balance can easily be cruised with two people or raced with 2 to 9 people depending on the sail choices you wish to use.
