The search results provide good information for all sections, including:

  • Introduction: Confirms designer Bill Tripp and builder Carroll Marine, and its purpose as a performance racer/cruiser.
  • History and Design: Production start year (1991) is confirmed. Bill Tripp's design philosophy (highly efficient yachts, boats always getting better) is mentioned. Carroll Marine's ethos (high-performance, cutting-edge, robust) is from the builder article. No specific "variations" like MkI/MkII found yet, but the notes mention "Tall rig".
  • Sailing Performance and Handling: Ratios calculated. Search results mention "fun and fast boat," "needs lots of active tuning via check stays," and "proven performer".
  • Accommodations and Layout: "Open format interior layout with berths for six" and "headroom is approximately 6'1"" are mentioned. Also, it includes a galley and toilet facility.
  • Owner's Perspectives: Reddit thread explicitly mentions owner opinions. Strengths: "fun and fast boat," "proven performer". Weaknesses/Concerns: "technical boat made to go fast and needs lots of active tuning via check stays," "many have rotted away due to balsa core," "Carroll Marine had some build quality issues". "Pit problems" mentioned in another forum.

I have enough information to construct the article. I will ensure to integrate the ratios qualitatively and cite appropriately.

Final check on ratios and their interpretation:

  • ratio_sa_disp (21.97): High, suggests excellent light-air performance.
  • ratio_bal_disp (0.464): High, indicates a very stiff and stable boat.
  • ratio_disp_lwl (161.7): Low, suggesting a light displacement, performance-oriented boat.

These interpretations fit with the "fun and fast," "technical," and "proven performer" descriptions.
