With her loose footed lug rig she makes the ideal sailing craft for family sailing, club use and for beach camping.

The versatility of these craft is endless (they can be fitted with cubbies, boom tents and different rigs), and the designer is more than willing to discuss and draw up modifications to suit individual requirements. All these craft are ideal for use with outboard engines.The beam is 5'4" and the weight 155 lbs with a sail area of 84 sq.ft.
