The Xenon is a relatively new boat and most people who buy them will probably want to cruise rather than race so they may not want to discuss too much (or may have no need).

There are also a fair few sailing schools out there that use them I believe.

wouldnt have thought it would be any good for crusing

You dont have to use the spinni and trapeze though if your cruising ..

Unless your cruising and have to make a deadline.

I recently bought a secondhand Xenon. While it's primarly designed for
racing, it's also fine for taking the family out cruising and more fun than a
Wayfarer ;)

..... unless you're out cruising and just want to go fast! 

The alternative to racing isn't JUST sitting on a thwart with a thermos y'know
