Most were ketch-rigged, although sloops were also produced, and they were sold with fin or bilge keel options. «Yachting Monthly» has described them as «…. substantial, safe and comfortable seaboats, popular with families for extended cruising»
With as powerful a diesel as most similar sized motor-sailers, they are nevertheless good sailing yachts, particularly in the fin-keeled models.
