General Information
Key Features & Specifications
- Design & Construction: The hull is balsa-cored above the waterline with solid glass reinforcement around through-hulls and chainplates. The design, attributed to Bryce Fuhriman based on a Brewer design, features a fully encapsulated long fin keel and a large skeg-hung rudder, contributing to good maneuverability under power.
- Performance: While initially a bit tender, the boat stiffens up under sail due to its 44-percent ballast-to-displacement ratio. It is known to perform well in light winds and is suitable for ocean passages, although it may need to be reefed early in stronger winds.
- Engine Room: A standout feature praised by owners is the exceptionally large, walk-in engine room, which provides excellent access to all sides of the engine and room for additional equipment like generators and watermakers.
- Interior: The interior typically features a layout with a centerline king-sized berth in the aft owner's suite, a forward V-berth, and two heads. The use of solid teak and teak veneer throughout the interior gives it a classic finish.
