Solidly constructed she can handle heavy seas but the overall design keeps her moving nimble. She sails smoothly, fast and the expansive foredeck, big cockpit (seats ten) and roomy interior make her a blast with family and friends.

Both settees convert to upper and lower berths. The convertible dinette sleeps two. The galley comes equipped and the linens are included.
