self-tending jib with roller furling. This allows
complete control of the jib by a person sitting
in the cockpit of the boat |

The main sail
is fully battened |
 |
It has a
carbon fibre mast which is 3.5 times stiffer

The
boat has port and starboard (left and right
side) controls for the reef lines, the halyards
and the sheets |

controls on the boat are within easy reach of
both sailors if they are sitting in the swivel
seats in the cockpit of the boat |
 |
There is
a closable cutty for storage (below the bow
of the boat) of wheelchairs and sailing gear |
 |
57 cubic
feet of foam closed-cell, urethane foam flotation
throughout the hull has been proven to provide
total resistance to sinking, even when the hull
is flooded |
 |
The custom
designed swivel seats are counterweighted beneath
the cockpit. The seats will lock in place and
are released by hand |
 |
Waist and
two point shoulder harnesses are attached to
both swivel seats allowing people to be safely
secured yet fully able to "swing"
port and starboard. |

The height of the boom allows
headroom when tacking |

Lazy jacks keep the cockpit clear |
