This sought-after layout provides exceptionally comfortable and secure accommodations with lavish stowage to store everything needed for an extended voyage.Further modifications were made to Perseverance's skeg and keel in 2002 by lengthening the keel fore and aft by a bit over a foot. These changes gave her more lift, enhanced the helm's balance, and gave her a higher pointing ability. These improvements to her performance capabilities were noted in her spinnaker PHRF-GB Rating of 143 and her spinnaker PHRF Offwind Rating of 108. With new North sails in 2015, she sails well and will likely surprise you with her upwind capabilities.Her cutter-ketch rig with the in-boom roller furling main provides an easily managed set-up for short-handed sailing. All sail handling may be performed from the cockpit solo. Her substantial bulwarks allow for secure footing, and her 32" lifelines are a plus for added safety.
