Callisto 385 Bill Dixon design

[pjas]

Hi there, if anyone has experience with a steel Callisto 385 designed by Bill Dixon, I would appreciate to receive some feedback. In view of her hull form (round hull, long keel) I am above all interested in her sailing qualities, especially to windward. Also how she behaves in heavy weather conditions. But any other information on this vessel will be appreciated. Thx!

Probably a bit of a late reply.

I have a Callisto 385. Bomb-proof I think is the appropriate word. Remarkably good up wind, amazing in big seas. Really well designed as a blue water cruiser. Possibly a bit heavy by today's standards, but that just means she is smoother in a heavy sea.

If you need to know anything else drop me a line.

Have fun...
