A very fast and well-sailing space miracle with perfect workmanship The laminate is very high-quality and thick. Sunlight doesn't penetrate any part of the hull. Ventilation works very well, even on warm days. The separation between the bow and aft cabins is excellent thanks to the maximum possible distance between them. Despite this, children can still easily access the saloon below deck. There is ample storage space, although the cupboards are small, and much is stowed under the seats. The sailing characteristics are very good for the boat's size, and the handling under power is also very good. A thoroughly well-designed, well-made, and highly usable boat – a true Van de Stadt yacht. With its reduced draft of 1.35 m, it's an ideal boat for its home waters in the East Frisian North Sea.
