Design edit
The Goldeneye is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig; a plumb stem with a bowsprit; a raised counter, angled transom; a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller, a self-bailing cockpit and a fixed long keel. It displaces 2,500 lb (1,134 kg) and carries 1,320 lb (599 kg) of lead ballast.[1][6][7]
The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft (0.91 m) with the standard keel. It has a small cuddy cabin, with sleeping accommodation for two people and an optional portable head.[1][6][7]
The boat is optionally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. Sails, lifelines, a cradle, a boat trailer and a compass are also all additional-cost options.[7]
For sailing the design may be equipped with a range of jibs, genoas and a symmetrical spinnaker.[1][6]
The design has a hull speed of 5.33 kn (9.87 km/h).[6]
