Stuff

Here's a brief description of the boat's features:

Beamy, modern design. Very Bruce Farrr-ish looks. Stays wide well aft. Boat loves to surf... (we've had some very fun rides home from Catalina. Boat is in L.A. / Long Beach area). Big rudder keeps all under control.

Walk-through transom. The transom is open and easy to access from dingy / dock / swim etc.


Big, open cockpit. Fold-away tiller, and slide-away traveler make for a huge space at anchor. Pressure cockpit shower with hot / cold water makes post-swimming a pleasure.


Sailing stuff. Selden double-spreader mast with slightly swept back spreaders. (Big, powerful rig; no runners). All lines led aft to bank of stoppers on both sides of companionway. Two big 2-speed Lewmar self-tailers (one on each side). Two Lewmar self-tailers in cockpit. Roller furling, slab reefing led to stoppers. Good sails (120% jib, 80% working jib, main). Much more...
