Very mixed feelings!
OWNER’S ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
What a great Rob Humphreys design for the average to expert sailor alike.
Can do anything coastal and/or cross channel – but not so much creek-crawling due to the deep draft.
HARAKA has always felt comfortable and safe to sail, with a great turn of speed on a beam reach, and she has ridden out some tough weather/seas with ease.
