[quote=tominpa]I have owned my 5.7 since 1986 and have sailed in the Atlantic, Pacific, and several of the Great Lakes. It delivers good performance and durability and is fairly easy to beach in difficult conditions. Obviously its old, but has been given a new composite Kevlar/Glass Epoxy bottom and Interlux Perfection paint, standing and running rigging, several tramps, sails and other upgrades over the years. It's a great boat with stability and good speed, but heavier than modern versions. It has passed through some gales and breaking off-shore surf, but I have aged more than the boat and no longer go on the double traps or take risks like I did 35 years ago. It's still ready, but I'm not. These boats come up every once in a while, and it's probably worth investing some work in the ones that have not been kept up to date.[/quote]
