I lot of dribble from sailors that have never even been on the boat. Sail the boat and you will see. It may not be for everyone but is sure a great boat to race when you are in a fleet. I do think the snuffer and self tacker have taken some of the skill out of it. I have been sailing the I20/N20 for 8 years with the 9th year coming up. Tad and Chris are on the money.
