The boat has a draft of 6.0 ft (1.8 m) with the standard keel.^[1][5]

The standard rig boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 120 with a high of 120 and low of 120. It has a hull speed of 7.13 kn (13.20 km/h).^[2] There was the option of a taller rig that results in a PHRF racing average handicap of 123 with a high of 129 and low of 120.^[1][5][7]
