The one piece moulded hull is built in GRP with moulded keels and skeg.
It has a recessed transom step for easy boarding. Foam reinforcing and stiffening
is provided where required. Twin (lead ballasted) aerofoil keels are standard
which make for efficient sailing with excellent stability, yet keeping the
draft to 2'3" for shallow water cruising and ease of trailing and launching.
The skeg hung rudder allows the boat to take the bottom safely. Auxiliary
power is normally supplied by an outboard in a well (under a cockpit seat).
Alternatively a 8hp Saildrive diesel inboard engine can be fitted.
On deck the cockpit is safe and comfortable. Halyards and reefing lines
are led aft which means that sail handling can be safely carried out without
leaving the cockpit. Roller furling on the foresail is standard.
Down below a three berth and enclosed toilet compartment layout is standard.
An alternative is a four berth layout without an enclosed toilet compartment.
The forward accommodation has two full length settee berths with cushioned
backrests. This can be converted to a double berth by lowering the cabin
table. The galley has a two burner gas cooker and sink.
