[1][2][3] The design was built by Clipper Marine of Santa Ana, California, United States, from 1971 to 1977, but it is now out of production.
[1][3] The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering, mounted in an aft starboard well.
Worst features: Construction quality is nothing to rave about on this lightly built boat, which was made to sell at a low target price - only $2,800 brand new in 1971 ...
Her cast iron swing keel could be a maintenance problem, and the winch to raise and lower it is located inconveniently down in the cabin.
A relatively narrow beam combined with below-average ballast weight will make her tender relative to her comp[etitor]s. On the deck just forward of her transom is a recess in the deck for clamping an outboard engine, but the placement of the recess appears to be too close to the centerline, so that the outboard rudder may be damaged by the engine's prop when turning hard to starboard.
