Full description

Show full description

The boat is 4.90 metres long and 2.00 metres wide. The hull is constructed from fibreglass composite and weighs 195 kilograms. The maximum crew weight is 640 kilograms and the yard specifies a maximum crew of eight. The centreboard is available in a standard fibreglass version and a heavier 60-kilogram version, which makes the boat considerably stiffer.

There is no propulsion engine; the boat is powered solely by sail. The sail plan comprises an 11.0 square metre mainsail and a 3.8 square metre jib, with a 14 square metre asymmetric gennaker for downwind courses. The air draft is 7 metres.
