Fibreglass dinghy designed by Lyle Hess (1912–2002) as a rowing, outboard or sailing tender. Produced in 7’ (2.1m), 8’ (2.4m) and 9’ (2.7m) long models. The 8’ model has a 4’ (1.2m) beam. Primarily designed as a tender with good rowing and towing characteristics, the boat has a daggerboard and can be sailed, with enough width in the beam to provide stability.
The hull has a lapstrake appearance. A transom notch allows sculling. Equipped with oarlocks for rowing, a small outboard motor can be mounted to port.
