In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "The concept was to build a safe, giving boat for a family of four, fun to sail and with some elbow room in the interior. Jim Taylor’s cozy and efficient layout on the original design is shown. When Spectrum left scene, Rebel Industries bought the molds and revised the interior (without consulting the designer) and continued building the boat under the Starwind and then the Spindrift name ... Best features: As with Jim Taylor's other designs, this one is wholesome and well-balanced, and fulfills her design concept nicely."[3]
