I went sailing on Ono with Arttu last Friday. Boat was fine. Unfortunately very light winds kept speeds low. Few data bits for people wanting to know about performance: First motoring in no wind in the morning at 5,5 knots with one 9,9 hp Yamaha at cruising speed, top speed 8 knots with two 9,9 yamahas. Then sailing in light winds (weather observations in the area showed 6 knots winds in the afternoon): boat speed 4,5 knots dead downwind, 5-6 knots when changed course a bit from dead downwind and 7,5-8 knots when reaching, all speeds are SOG according to GPS. Handling the boat was even easier than I had thought.
 
Accommodations were bigger and better in reality than what is seen in the pictures. Some details still need some work and thinking but no major issues.
 
Funny thing: about half of the boats we met had cameras in hand :)
