12,400 lbs Lady Jane was designed as a serious offshore cruiser. She is not a motorsailer but uses the wheelhouse to advantages for cold weather sailing. She is designed for modern, performance, hard chine aluminium construction to produce a strong light hull at reasonable cost. On deck there is one deck box forward with a built in dorade vent and two boxes aft for storage.
All halyards are readily available because of the centre cockpit design.
The wheelhouse is self draining and the aft cabin can be closed off in case of flooding. Equipment specified includes Norseman terminals on all standing rigging and lifelines, lazy-jacks and slab reefing, and a Sabb diesel with variable pitch prop. 148 gallons of fresh water is contained in three tanks under the sole and the ends of the quarter berths. 60 gallons of diesel fuel in two tanks are contained under the wheelhouse. The accommodation shows two forward berths set well back behind a collision bulkhead with another collision bulkhead at the stern.
