How has she been stored over the years and how much time on the water every year?
Before we got it she was stored inside a barn in winter and in the water (fresh) in the summer. We've kept he stored inside a factory in the winter and drysailed from Sail Newport the last 2 years, and in the water (Salt) on a mooring this summer. She has VC "speed" on the hull and another brand of ablative paint on the keel (VC doesn't make white, we wanted white to see weeds on the keel).

What is she made of...foam sandwich balsa core etc etc??
Foam Sandwich with glass over. There is also carbon fiber used in key structural areas (mast step, chain plates, keel box).

What does she rate?
She has a 69 PHRF rating in NBYA.
