I single handed to Northern Spain nonstop in 2012, laying to the series drogue 100 miles off Finistere very comfortably with no drama. The engine is reliable and economical and starts easily. The masthead light doesn't work.

I removed the bowsprit after it suffered some damage, (Brittany rock) hence the chain tacks on the twin forestays, and the spare Furlex.
