It is an excellent fishing boat for either lake or salt water and is an ideal tender for a larger yacht.

The sailing model is rigged with a standing lug sail of 56 square feet and also features a kick up rudder assembly. The boat handles and performs superbly under sail in both light and high winds. The hull shape produces a lift effect when gunnel down, hard on the wind and it is hard to drive the gunnel under resulting in a dry interior.
