Looks like she sails well with the windvane Bill. How does it compare to your old Top hat in terms of cruising speed?

Hi Mark i have had two northeners this one is very fast for what she is 1700kg of ballast and wider bow gives a different ride and considering how cheap the Northeners are they are the bargain of the centurary in Australia all hand laid glass they travell about the same speed
