[1][2][5][6] The design was built by Ouyang Boat Works in Whitby, Ontario, Canada, from 1983 to 1989, under its Aloha Yachts brand, but it is now out of production.

It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder, with a partial skeg, controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel.

[9][10] In a 1985 review for Canadian Yachting, Carol Nickle & Bryan Gooderham wrote, "key parameters such a sail area, displacement and ballast are all moderate.

The wide waterline beam, combined with gently curving underbody sections and slight fullness in the bows, results in plenty of interior volume.

Its underwater profile shows a fairly shallow, swept-back fin keel and a stout skeg leading into the transom-hung rudder.
