Brokers Comments
The Family Racer version was introduced in 1978 and showed she was well capable of out performing other similar cruising yachts. Based on the half ton pedigree this version is specifically offered for the performance orientated cruising family who want to race occasionally. The handling comes within the capabilities of the average family, coupled with a true cruising interior she makes an ideal family cruising yacht.
