-Couldn'​t have said it better myself. It's a great boat to sail and has a competitive handicap so mixed fleet racing is fun. Ours was built to the older markI design, newer markII ​boats have a false floor which ensures that after a capsize all the water just drains out the back. This does mean there is less headroom.+Couldn'​t have said it better myself. It's a great boat to sail and has a competitive handicap so mixed fleet racing is fun.

I do miss the frostply ​sometimes, ​it was the nicest sailing boat I've been in so far.+We've now sold this boat and bought a Hartley TS16, which is getting some repairs.
