The yacht's moderate displacement of 15,983 pounds and substantial ballast ratio create an excellent foundation for both spirited sailing and comfortable cruising. The hull features a modern fin keel with bulb and spade rudder configuration, delivering responsive handling and solid upwind performance. With a fractional sloop rig carrying 1,018 square feet of sail area, the boat offers versatility across varying wind conditions while maintaining manageable sail handling for shorthanded crews. The generous beam of 12.89 feet provides good interior volume and initial stability. Built specifically for the New York Yacht Club's one-design fleet, these yachts excel in both competitive racing and weekend cruising scenarios. The moderate comfort ratio of 21.2 indicates a design that prioritizes performance without sacrificing livability, making it well-suited for coastal cruising and club racing. Nautor's fiberglass construction ensures durability and low maintenance, while Frers' design expertise delivers the refined sailing characteristics expected from this caliber of yacht.
