At one time I owned “Juno TT”, an Italian built, Carter designed 2-ton
racer. She had a draft of 7.2 feet and the “I” was 56.5 feet. She is the
boat that you can use as an example of fast and scary. This other boat from
the board of S&S is a very moderate design. If the structure were OK I think
the shape is very nice for a fast cruiser. If she were in my budget and the
strength was there I would buy her.
All the best,
Robert Gainer
