It was later produced by Seafarer Yachts in their factory in Huntington, New York, but it is now out of production.

The hull has a spooned, raked stem; raised counter, angled transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed, modified long keel, with a cutaway forefoot and a retractable centerboard.
