For a definitive answer you might reach out to Barrry Carrol who is still a=
ctive after selling the boat building business. I have always thought of th=
e boat more for coastal racing/cruising but with nothing to back that up. T=
he construction is moderately light. The phrase "reef early" comes to mind.=
I've done 10'+ waves with reefed main and #3 and clearly survived but don'=
t know the limits.=20

nd I would say this is NOT an offshore boat. It has to little freeboard and=
is much to tender of a boat. I've sailed the boat once in gale force winds=
and it was a constant effort to maintain control. Don't take this boat off=
shore.
