She has a fin keel and skeg hung tiller rudder. The hull is constructed of cold molded mahogany which is unusual for such a small yacht which gives her hull an excellent strength to weight ratio resulting in a very quick boat with good performance. She is in excellent condition painted and vanished ready for a new sailing season. Easy to handle single handed or makes a lovely family weekender.

Her cabin and superstructure are all constructed from 1 inch mahogany and her decks are laid to beautiful teak. She has an auto draining cockpit with two large cockpit lockers, one to port and one at the rear of the cockpit which houses the fuel tank, her cockpit seating is also laid with teak decking with black caulking.

Inside she has 2 very long settee berths in the saloon along with a chart table/galley worktop area.

There is a storage shelf above the berths and lots of stowage space under the bunks. The engine is housed in an engine box under the companion way giving good access to all parts of the engine and gearbox. In the fore cabin is a hanging locker to the starboard and a head to starboard with a Marine PH11 sea toilet. There is then a V shaped berth with one child size berth and one adult berth with a mahogany forehatch above the V berth.
