How is the Somes Soud 12.5

[smilicus]

Hello Guys

Was wandering if any of you had seen, sailed or have any experience of the Somes Sound 12.5 (http://brooksboatsdesigns.com/Somes%...Soundmain.html). I love the design and am considering it as my next build (between the Navigator and the Somes Sound).

Would like to know your thoughts on seaworthiness, speed (to windward and down wind) and the overall design.

Thanks guys, hoping to hear you thoughts

Have you seen the Mike O'Brien article comparing this boat to almost all the other look-alikes, The original H-12.5, the Haven, the Buzzards Bay, and the Bolger version. See WoodenBoat #217......
