It has a masthead sloop rig, a highly raked stem, a plumb transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel.

The boat has a draft of 6.00 ft (1.83 m) with the standard keel .
The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines 4236 diesel engine of 45 hp (34 kW) for cruising, docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 125 U.S. gallons (470 L; 104 imp gal) and the fresh water tank also has a capacity of 125 U.S. gallons (470 L; 104 imp gal).
