It has a free-standing ketch rig, with the aft mast slightly shorter than the fore mast and both masts rigged with cat sails, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. With the standard keel it displaces 13,400 lb (6,078 kg) and carries 6,500 lb (2,948 kg) of ballast.[1][2][5]
The boat has a draft of 6.00 ft (1.83 m) with the standard keel and 4.5 ft (1.4 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][5]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 27 hp (20 kW).[1][5]
The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 144 with a high of 153 and low of 141. It has a hull speed of 7.41 kn (13.72 km/h).[2][5]
