Frers designed a hull with minimal IOR compromises that sails better than most racing yachts. This center cockpit ketch is built by Halvorsen Marine, the builder of Island Gypsy trawlers. Very easily sailed by two people and ready for daysailing and extended cruising. She has been professionally updated and upgraded each year. Complete pictures are available.
