The boat was built by a series of different builders under several different model names in the United States, and all are now out of production.[1][4]
The series are all small recreational keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. They have fractional sloop rigs, transom-hung rudders and retractable centerboards. They are normally fitted with a small 2 to 5 hp (1 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][2][4]
The design has sleeping accommodation for three people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow and a straight settee in the main cabin. Cabin headroom is 54 in (137 cm).[4]
