The double headsail rig simplifies handling and can be reefed down to a snug, all inboard rig in a blow. However, for those who prefer a vessel with traditional character, the plans also offer a clipper bow ketch version with bowsprit and 700 sq. Auxiliary power is by a small diesel of 22-30 hp and will drive her at 6.5 knots with a wide cruising range. In 1983 one of these yachts completed a successful global circumnavigation, rounding both capes, a solid testament to her seaworthiness. She was skippered by Professor Marvin Creamer of New Jersey and navigated without the use of sextant or electronic instruments.
