Keel

The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed.

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.24 - 2.34 meter (7.35 - 7.65 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Engine

The boat is typically equipped with an inboard Yanmar 2GM20FC-SD20 diesel engine at 18.0 hp (13 kW).

The transmission is a saildrive.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
