Sailing Tendencies
These boats have a relatively small mainsail compared to other yachts of their size. They use a large headsail to increase sail area. The boom is relatively high from the bottom of the cockpit, and the end is more forward. Mainsail controls are achieved through a cabin-top mounted winch, leading to a traveler car system running across the deck in front of the main cabin's sliding hatch.

Now I know what you must have meant as a month since I walked,
As I walked in silence the transparent shadowy night,”
