The time-tested B & R rig tames the power in the mainsail where it is easier to handle. The smaller jib is almost self-tacking and with the arch keeping the mainsheet overhead and out of the way, your cockpit is clear and safe. All the lines are led aft to assist in short handed sailing and the in-mast furling system really makes it simple. The deck plan is laid out with safety in mind. Clear wide decks and multiple handholds ensure your ability to move around when necessary. A standard anchor windlass is recessed below deck to avoid those toe-stubbings in the middle of the night and the step down transom makes climbing aboard the tender a breeze.
