It seems appropriately named. I can't help thinking the sailing ability described is a tad optimistic.
For a more simple folder check out the Brown/Marples Seaclipper designs. There is a 16 and 20, among others. [MEDIA]
Ocean Swift is a lovely boat. However I would also be interested in pics/details of the 35' version it was based on.
