Never had the pleasure of a trip in one. Lovely design of hull. Steering is within the cuddy which should be a nice feature, not sure about the lip that divides the cuddy from the deck, if water gets in I’d say you’d be taking out the sponge.
The build quality and fixtures were poor on any example I’ve looked at. Wouldn’t mind a spin in one to see what the ride is like.
