The boat has a draft of 6.00 ft (1.83 m) with the centreboard extended and 1.75 ft (0.53 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal).[1]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 213 with a high of 220 and low of 206. It has a hull speed of 6.46 kn (11.96 km/h).[2]
