The hull has a spooned [[plumb stem]], a vertical [[Transom (nautical)|transom]], a transom-hung [[rudder]] controlled by a [[tiller]] and a fixed fin, shoal-draft [[keel]].<ref name="Data"/><ref name="Sherwood"/><br />
<br />
The boat has a draft of {{convert|18|in|cm|abbr=on}} with the standard keel and is normally fitted with a small [[outboard motor]] for docking and maneuvering.<ref name="Data"/><br />
