Is that because you were selling it, or did you buy it? I'm thinking the smily means the latter.
IF you now own it, you will like it! I have an identical boat, same year, same color. It looks like there are a few small patches on the batten pockets. These wear, especially where they rub on the shrouds, easy fix at your local sail loft.
Both manuals are here in the tech section.

Try to get your diamond wires at the same tension, & spend a few minutes with the boat on the trailer to rig the rudders parallel, otherwise you will find it handles quite differently on opposite tacks.
I will want to rear the stern up on a stiff wind broad reach, sit/trap right at the tiller X bar & you're OK. I have only pitchpoled it once, & that was with water in the hull that ran to the bow.
It is the same to right as the larger 5.7, I need a bag unless I have 15+ wind.
I can do 20mph on the GPS with it, have not yet quite matched the 5.7, but very close.
They are a wonderful solo boat, & handle 2 well.
ENJOY!
