Standard Description

HULL

The one-piece hull is 100% hand laid-up fiberglass. W. D. Schock Corporation has engineered and built the hull to yield maximum strength and rigidity, with reinforcement in areas where large loads may be exerted. High gloss white gel coat is used. To support the keel, a hand laid-up fiberglass keel grid is bonded to the hull. This adds strength to the hull and makes it very easy to clean the bilge. The main bulkhead is placed forward of the keel grid. It is bonded to both the keel grid and the forepeak liner, adding strength to the hull form. The main bulkhead has a smooth fiberglass finish on both sides. The forepeak has a cabin sole with access to the bilge. There are two ice chests, one port and one starboard. The sides of the forepeak are finished fiberglass, providing a clean, tailored look.

KEEL

Lead ballast totaling 900 pounds is encased in a fiberglass shell. Eight stainless steel keel bolts are used to attach the fin to the hull. The unique design offers maximum lift and minimum drag while the bulb design locates more weight down low to increase the righting moment of the boat. The keel is also designed with a keel sump, so any water in the bilge will be collected at a low point and then pumped overboard.

RUDDER & TILLER

The rudder is located well aft for maximum control. It is a spade design and is constructed of laminated fiberglass and high-density filler. The shaft is Schedule 80 tubular stainless steel. The tiller is laminated and varnished wood. The rudder head is aluminum, and the tiller cheeks are stainless steel.

DECK & COCKPIT

The deck's fiberglass is also 100% hand laid-up. It is cored with end grain balsa to give it stiffness without adding to the weight of the boat. The deck is a light silver gray gel coat. The non-skid on the deck and cockpit seats has an attractive diamond-shaped pattern. A large lazarette hatch sits aft of the Harken mainsheet traveler and can easily store the optional electric motor or an outboard. The cockpit is long, comfortably seating up to eight. The cockpit sole has two large hatch openings for easy access to the bilge. Two large seat hatches give access to the batteries for the optional electrical system and optional electric motor. The mainsail cam cleat is mounted on a barney post for easy control of the mainsail. The cuddy design of the deck incorporates a shelf that accommodates almost all of the sail controls - dual jib sheets, jib sock halyard, jib roller furling line, main cunningham, main halyard, lazy jacks, jib outhaul and mainsail reef line. All of these lines are lead under the deck to reduce deck clutter and windage. An advanced jib club boom is standard. Designed by Gary Hoyt, this self-tacking jib boom does not need a boom vang. It holds the jib in good trim at all wind angles. A roller furling system makes jib handling even easier.

RIGGING

The mast, boom, spreaders and jib club boom are all clear anodized. The standing rigging is stainless steel and the running rigging is dacron. The lines are colored to make identification easier. Control devices include a vang under the main boom and an adjustable backstay that leads under the deck and exits to a cleat in the cockpit. Also, several adjustable controls run inside the spars - the halyards and the lazy jacks are led inside the mast, and the mainsail outhaul is led inside the booM.
