9m Capelli - any good?

Does anybody have an opinion on the 9m Capelli hull? I like the look and layout of their cabin rib, but need to know if it can handle F4/5 & worse conditions or is it a leisure boat best suited to calm seas. Any comments/opinions?

Just by looking at her, it looks as though she could handle most conditions.

A powerful looking bit of kit.
