Default Jester in a First 211?

Evening All,

I was wondering what the collective view of a Beneteau First 211 doing the Jester Challenge?

Good
1. Unsinkable
2. Fairly fast
3. Sort of mini transat shape.
4. Cheap(ish)

Bad

1. Have to sail 'um to make 'um go - so hard work.
2. Open transom can ship water downwind (But east/west's not a downwind trip)


Just a thought experiment....but you never know.
