Briefly, in its day, it was a good boat in light airs, awful uphill against any sort of sea, and quite reasonably priced for the end product. Also, if you like the &#8220;CCA&#8221; look, they are a pretty boat. But those long overhangs and unbalanced hull form (when heeled) make the boat a bit difficult to steer. It took the full efforts of our Aries wind vane to keep intermezzo on track in a breeze&#8211;but the Aries did the job. Note that Intermezzo had a deeper keel, more lead, a taller rig, and a much bigger rudder than the stock designs.
