Hi all,
Considering a boat upgrade. Has anyone had personal experience with the above boat - good or bad?
Thanks

I have never sailed one but it's from the Van de Stadt family so it will be good. The yacht immediate west of my mooring is a fibreglass round bilge Maestro built by the owner. In the photo it's the middle yacht with the very expensive Selden mast with in-mast furling. Note that the Maestro can be multi chine ply, steel or aluminium or round bilge fibreglass. A few years ago there was a steel one here holed up a few days with the weather. The owners reckoned it was not too good in light breezes.

I looked at one an Adelaide dealer was trying to flog it was a piece of ****
it had damp absorption containers every where
the floor was all screwed down I couldn't inspect the bilge without putting in an offer
all she the dealer was selling was way way over priced
