Overview:

Artekno's H-Boat is clearly a well proportioned and fast yacht, which goes extremely well to wind-ward and accelerates rapidly thanks to her small wetted surface. She retains stability even in blustery conditions, because some 60% of her total weight is below the waterline. The keel accounts for about 50% of the boat's displacement. This craft is kept locally to the Broker and appears to be in good order (subject to survey). Known and local to the Broker.
