[1][2][7][8] The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 1971 until 1979, with 780 boats completed, but it is now out of production.
The hull has a raked stem, a slightly reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed swept fin keel.
The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder and slides aft under the cockpit when not in use.
The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side and includes a shower.
[1][2][3] For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 323 sq ft (30.0 m2).
