Wonder how she'd handle in a swell? It just doesn't have that 'rough n tough' look

It was designed for off shore racing, and I believe races were won in it by the current owner!

Scorpion
Hi,
Yes our boat has a Bravo 3 leg with shower cap, the leg was taken apart and parts replaced with heavy duty bits not a single problem with it etc. The boat handles fantasticly well and we have been in some serious rough stuff including a severe 9 and survived etc.
Standing up to drive is no problem and on many of the long legs we do its good to mix between sitting and standing.
You may just find one within your budget if you go second hand etc.
Cheers
Julian

Alt, do you know about the ignore button?

Which other 25ft sports cruisers are you comparing the handling of the Lema with? Don't be shy.

Ummm, at 21yo YOU have previously owned a Lencraft, you currently own a Lema Clod and you are now looking to purchase a £45k offshore rib.  The student grants in Ireland must be quite something!
