She can also be built as a conventional multi-chine. Note that her bumkin is non-standard. The gaff rigs use gaff jaws and parrels. Lower masts are sealed steel tubes while all other spars are spruce or oregon pine. Standing rigging is galvanised, with all rope running rigging.
All blocks are wood shelled and the only winches needed are for sheeting of the larger headsails.
The result is a rig which can be almost completely built by the amateur builder. Imported hardware needed is minimal, with considerable cost benefit. The single topmast schooner rig is of moderate proportions to make it simple and easy to handle but is short on sail for light conditions. For those wanting light air performance and accepting the increased complication, a fore topmast can be added. The cutter rig has sufficient power for all conditions.
