[1][2][3] The design was built by Capital Yachts in Harbor City, California, United States, starting in 1978, but it is now out of production.
[5] In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "Capital Yachts ... offered this commodious vessel in several configurations: shoal draft long keel ... or deep fin keel (at 5-foot draft not easily tailerable or launchable without a crane), and standard rig or tall rig.
That's due to the relatively high freeboard and bulbous trunk cabin, which increase interior space but at some sacrifice of external beauty.
Worst features: Owners point out that two adults can't use the aft double (though, as the sales literature says somewhat enigmatically, '1 1/2 people can'), The same is true for the forward V-berth, unless the filler cushion is put in place, which virtually eliminates head use.
Other owner complaints include poor windward ability in the shoal draft version, lack of a door on the head, and a stove positioned too close to the side of the boat and to curtains.
