It displaces {{convert|7716|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|2646|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of ballast.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|6.07|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the centerboard extended and {{convert|3.22|ft|m|abbr=on}} with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat is fitted with an inboard engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds {{convert|29|u.s.gal}} and the fresh water tank has a capacity of {{convert|25|u.s.gal}}.
The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin. The galley is located on the port side amidships. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side and includes a shower.
