About this vessel

The roomy cockpit and robust fittings reflect its coastal-cruiser pedigree, while the boat's ballast and conservative sail area provide a balanced, predictable feel under sail. It blends timeless design with rugged practicality, offering dependable coastal cruising with classic charm.
