The boat has a draft of 6.67 ft (2.03 m) with the standard keel and 5.17 ft (1.58 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][2]
The steering wheel can be set in port, center or starboard positions by use of a foot locking lever, as desired by the helmsman. This provides the advantages of a dual-wheel configuration, but occupies less cockpit space. The wheel also folds when not in use.[1]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 45 hp (34 kW). The fuel tank holds 50 U.S. gallons (190 L; 42 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 90 U.S. gallons (340 L; 75 imp gal). The holding tank holds 40 U.S. gallons (150 L; 33 imp gal).[1][2]
Factory options included roller furling jib and mast-furling mainsail.[1]
Operational history
In a short review upon the introduction of the design in 2016, Cruising World, reported that "Cat’s-eye-style ports run the length of the low-profile cabin top, and the house extends well aft to provide lots of living space below."[2]
