The search results provide good information.

  • Designer: Ted Hood
  • Purpose: Trailerable cruiser-racer, light sailboat, good performer, day-boat
  • Production years: 1980-1983
  • Builder: Alcort (under AMF) or AMF (USA) or AMF Alcort
  • Handling: Fast, especially in light conditions, stable/stiff
  • Interior: Flush deck makes it roomy for its size, "more spacy" than many similar designs.
  • Owner perspectives: Mentions of forum discussions, general positive comments about speed, questions about seaworthiness for cruiser-racer label. No specific "common problems" found in the snippets beyond general boat maintenance.

I have enough to start writing. I will omit the "Owner's Perspectives" section as I don't have enough synthesizable common strengths/weaknesses, only general queries for info. I can mention the owner interest in forums in other sections if appropriate.

Let's refine the plan based on findings:

  1. Introduction: Incorporate designer Ted Hood, builder AMF/Alcort, and its purpose as a trailerable cruiser-racer or day-boat, known for good performance for its size.
  2. History and Design: Discuss production years (1980-1983). Mention Ted Hood as the designer and his potential philosophy for a spacious hull for its size. Link to AMF's ownership of Alcort and their push for a larger design beyond dinghies. No mention of significant variations in the search results, so I will omit that part.
  3. Sailing Performance and Handling: Describe it as a light and fast boat, especially in light air. Mention its stability and stiffness, but also its "low righting capability if capsized" which is a strong statement for a day-boat. Emphasize its nature as a good performer. Since it's under 30 feet, I will not use the ratios, but I can use descriptive terms from the search results like "light sailboat which is a good performer" and "very fast boat especially in lightish conditions".
  4. Accommodations and Layout: Describe the interior as roomy for its size, thanks to its flush deck design. Mention it being "more spacy" compared to similar sailboats. No specific details on materials or detailed layout, so I'll keep this general.
  5. Owner's Perspectives: Omit this section as there isn't enough synthesizable information about common strengths or weaknesses, only general inquiries or discussions.

I'll make sure to add citations at the end of relevant sentences.
