From the original owner:)
Cabo Rico 34, "Tommy Dundee": I bought my boat to use on the ocean. I have learned that this means rough seas, squalls with 45 knots of wind and conditions that can be frightening. So I define "performance" in terms of stability, reasonable speed, toughness and confidence in the boat. I frequently sail in the company of a "modern performance boat". When the going gets rough, things break. He has been towed 4 times and disabled 3 times in the last 3 years. I have never been towed or disabled in almost 7 years. Now, that's real performance. Yes, he is a little faster when he uses the main, but most of the time he is reluctant to raise it and I have never seen the main raised without a reef."
