David, I own a full-keel version of this model and support the sailing characteristics mentioned by others. I still have lessons to learn on how to deal with short chop upwind, but I think that's me, not the boat. I have had core issues in both the deck (outboard and astern of the chain plates) and hull (subsequently repaired at considerable effort and expense); moisture could be the determining factor in any purchase, so it may be worth a mini-survey before determining whether to proceed with a full one.
