Altough this famous boat is worth it , never forget that nobody is perfect !
- using the engine going backwards can be really tricky on this boat. As we do not go very often in marinas, this is no big deal. Just keep it in mind !
- Graine d'Etoile doesn't like sailing to close of the wind, especially with little wind... In that case, wait, change your destination, or use the engine !
The deck paint is 5 years old and not in the same perfect condition as the hull paint. This will have to be done someday (in the next 5 years...), but keep in mind it is only something cosmetic as aluminium doesn't rust.
