The following information and photographs are displayed as a service to anyone researching yacht types. Details and photographs are normally based on one specific yacht, but could be a compilation. No reliance should be placed on other yachts of the same class being identical.  Where common variations exist, we have endeavoured to indicate this in these archive details.  The price guide covers the normal ranges of age and condition. Exceptional boats, whether good or bad, may fall outside these guidelines.

Keel type

Iron fixed fin keel or lifting keel within cast iron stub keel

The saloon has seating around a drop-leaf table, with the centreboard case for drop keel versions, as seen here, under the tabletop. The seating continues forward to form a berth area. Amidships is a chart table and enclosed heads compartment to starboard, and the galley to port. Under the port side of the cockpit seating is a large (nominally double) berth. In the photo below the companionway steps have been removed to show the shape of this aft berth

If an inboard is fitted it is installed under the companionway steps, and the engine box does mean that the aft berth is longer outboard than inboard. In outboard powered versions the engine is in a well in the starboard cockpit locker, and the aft berth can be larger
