Description
There are currently well over 700 of this design in use worldwide, several in the charter business. It has proven to be a fast comfortable boat and there are many, many more being built in either multi chine and radius chine steel or aluminium, round bilge fibreglass and wood epoxy.
The boat can be built with either a Cutter or Ketch rig, with personal preference dictating the builders choice as she performs well under all rigs. Version A features a centreboard with a 5′ draft and is best suited to fibreglass (CFlex, foam sandwich etc.) construction. Versions E and G are designed with pilot houses and have been very popular
