Is there anyone here who might have some general information on the Windspeed 18. I have the opportunity to buy one at a great price, but other than racing one in the late 80's, I don't know much about the boat. It has G-cat style chines/bevels, but doesn't have the same height to the hulls. Looking at pictures, it doesn't seem like it is built as strong as a Prindle or a Hobie. Any performance info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys,
I think I'll focus on other boats. The tramp is shot and the headsail is gone. The boat looks like it might be a good ride for someone skinny. That ain't me.
