Default How does 1994 Cape Horn ride? 21'

I am lookingat buying an older cape horn....1994 hull 21', I haven't rode on a 21 before but I have rode on a 19' 93 hull. My question is how rough and how "wet" is the ride. Is it as bad as the 19' or better?

On my boat (1990 Cape Horn/ for sale soon) it's a wet ride, if there is any wind. I've heard that those splash gaurds really help it, but I have never been to concerned about keeping dry.

Wet. Water coming from beneath/ behind the rub-rail. Maybe some caulk there would help, but only mostly the remaining drip constantly blowing on you after theprior spray/splash. I almost wish you hadn't asked...

put on your goggles. the ride is not bad as long as you don't mind constantly being hit with a firehose if there is any chop!

Splash guards (inexpensive) fix the wet ride. The newer reverse chine design is fine. One tough well buit boat.
