One of the best boatdesigns ever. Fast, roomy, sturdy, seaworthy, iconic appearance. Good for familysailing, racing, ocean crossings. There is only one drawback: for a sailor in shallow waters like me her draft of 5.6' is simply a no go. That's why I decided for her (6 years) older, a bit more traditional cousin, the Allegro 27 with a draft of only 4.2'
