This fiberglass sloop, also available in a yawl variant, is celebrated for its robust fin keel and skeg-hung rudder, providing exceptional seaworthiness. With a moderate displacement of 24,800 pounds and an impressive sail area of 850 square feet, it boasts a SA/D ratio of approximately 16.0, ensuring stable performance in heavy weather while cruising comfortably at 6-7 knots.

Inside, it accommodates up to 9 berths, including a forward V-berth, saloon settees, a U-shaped galley, an enclosed head, and an optional aft cabin for added privacy on long passages. Available with either a flush deck or an extended coach roof, this vessel encapsulates the elegance of 1960s blue water cruising and has proven its mettle on transoceanic journeys from Mexico to Australia and New Zealand, making it a highly coveted vintage cruiser today.
