I think the Galion was considered to have a good performance in its time. I remember sailing "against" one in about '74 and finding we were fairly matched in my Cirrus which was about level with the Hurley 22 which had a good reputation. Certainly faster than a Kestrel, which doesn't mean it's a better boat. I know a couple who had their honeymoon in a Kestrel.
