It has a fractional sloop rig, a sharply raked stem, a plumb transom wit a fixed swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 4600 lb and carries 1700 lb of ballast.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin around a drop-down table and an aft cabin with a transversely-mounted double berth. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a stove, icebox and a sink. The head is located opposite the gallery on the port side.
