Design
Designed by Frank V. Butler, the fiberglass hull has a raked stem, a vertical transom, a large self-bailing cockpit, with under-seat lockers, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. Models have been built with folding swing keels, wing keels and fin keels.[1][4]
It has a masthead sloop rig. It has two winches for the jibsheets. Sails include a jib, 150% genoa and a spinnaker.[1][3][4]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][4]
Accommodations include a forward "V" berth with a privacy curtain and a port berth with an optional head that can be stowed underneath. The main cabin area includes a dinette table and a molded fiberglass galley that rolls away under the cockpit space. The foredeck features an opening hatch for ventilation. The companionway hatch may have a "pop-top" fitted for additional headroom.[3]
