Hi James
I haven't seen that boat for a good few years - used to be in very good condition when sailed at Spinnaker many years ago. Pipedreams are at thier best in lighter winds and very quick inland. Unlikely to be quite as quick as you've been used to with the Chapter at Penzance but still great fun to sail. You could do a lot worse. As wiith any boat of that age condition of the sails is a big factor, given the replacement costs - some boats of that age that have sails which are well past their best.
Good luck.
Cheers
