Her performance stems from a combination of factors, one of which is her long waterline length, which is 40 feet (only 4 feet shorter than her overline length) Her fine entry provides ease of entry reducing water resistance. Her beam is carried well aft, which will permit her to stand up better by providing more buoyancy and letting her carry her sails longer.

The current owners have lived aboard and cruised her for many years. They are the second owners of this yacht.
