"As well as being a popular racing class this is also a great lifestyle boat, one that you can safely go out in a breeze and just have a blast for fun, taking the family out or even alone."
"Many of you are looking for a raceboat that's simple, stable, and sensational to sail, and we found it in the Open 5.70. My fellow judges agree that this Open 60-like craft is one of the best new European-bred one-designs we've tested in years."
"The winner for the Best One-Design, the Open 5.70, imported from France, was found to meet the three "S" requirements: simple, stable, and sensational to sail."
"For racers who dream of sailing Open 60 monohulls but lack the budget (or the temerity), the Open 5.70 delivers many of the thrills of those ocean racing rocketships in a compact, ramp-launchable package. Winner of Best One-Design, the 5.70 is roughly 18-feet-long and 8-feet-wide in the stern, making it the sailing equivalent of a big wave surfboard. For all its performance prowess, however, the Open 5.70 has the stability and cockpit space to comfortably carry a family on an afternoon cruise."
