Construction consists of timber / epoxy, with strip plank Western Red Cedar and glass for the hull shell, and plywood / glass for the decks, cabin and interior.

Plans include very detailed drawings of the construction, as well as specifications and building guide. The boat is easily constructed and can be entirely home built with the exception of fittings and sails. Mast and boom can be home built from raw sections using stock marine fittings.

In her designed environment of sheltered and semi - sheltered water she is an ideal step up for dingy sailors, and most suitable for older couples looking for something a little smaller. For those who like a brisk sail the boat is suitable for club racing and will plane in the right conditions. The inclusion of a ballasted drop keel makes her more stable than the traditional centerboard trailer yacht.
