She is sheathed outside by paint-protected fiberglass, with epoxy alone used on the interior. A comfortable coastal cruiser for two, she is smaller than her profile indicates, being not so much narrow as stretched. A 16ft pocket cruiser has been made a much faster and more seaworthy boat by adding a motor well and a swallow tail. Yet EF needs just over two feet to float off, and can roar along a full-blooded reach in three feet of water. Access by this deckhatch or screened bulkhead door behind starboard berth pillow.
Full privacy using head is afforded by cabin height.
All areas aft of the trotter boxes have stowage under except for flotation in swallow tail. A 2ft per side square hatch in the evenly curved cabin roof slides forrd to provide full standing headroom in the companionway beneath the boom. A boom tent can easily be rigged. The main is prmanently threaded on the mast by a foot long wrapped around stitched pocket which creates a wing shape. The pocket merely bunches up around the mast on reefing or lowering.
