Notes:
This was a development class so specs can vary from boat to boat. The idea was to create the fastest craft with 125 sq ft of sail area.
This boat first appeared in The Rudder September 1933 with another example in April 1934. Source: Designs to Inspire From the Rudder 1897-1942 by Anne and Maynard Bray ©2000 WoodenBoat Publications.
