The first fleet of boats was made in 1907. They were gaff rigged with a short bowsprit and quite a long counter. A new class of Mermaid was built in 1922 and was replaced in 1963 with hulls made of cold moulded plywood. Modern boats are of GRP.
The normal rig is a jib and mainsail, but in light weather genoas replace jibs. In heavy weather, small mainsails are used.
