Tiki 26 sailing performance/charecteristics.

As I continue with the build of my boat,I was wondering what these cats are like to sail? Those who have would you like to share your observations here.

cheers paul

Light, responsive, and balanced. Circumstances did not allow me to take Hei Matau on a sea trial prior to purchasing her and then putting thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours into her restoration, and a frequent nagging thought was "What if, after all of this, I really don't like the way she sails?" You'll be impressed, Paul.
