IIRC the predecessor to the Donzi 16 won the MIami to Bimini and back race, and its 12' short of your specs.

Yea I did whiff on that one. Got crossed up with the ones who own said boats and keep them nice and shiny just to run them a couple minutes to the local hangout.

I was very surprised to see the port transom corner get ripped off one in Key West last year from what seemed like a little touch to the hull. Don't think they'd fair well after seeing the lightweight construction.
