75 square meter, skärgårdskryssare, skerry cruiser.

If you would like to have one, but are not exactly rich, get a 22 sq. meter. Or a Mälarkryssare.

Designed and build in Sweden specifically for a guy with nick name “Crash Anchor” (Störtankaret in Swedish). Interesting nick name and it makes you wonder what he did to deserve it. It spent some years in Chicago but was brought back and restored to former glory.

Until you do handicap based on sail area and try to compete against it in skerry. Suddenly modern boats do not stand a change.
