Notes

The Mark I was built between 1967 - 1971.
The Mark II has less wood in the construction than the Mark I, employing instead a molded floor support, molded overhead liner and a fiberglass toerail.
Most boats were delivered with either the 23­hp Volvo MD2B or the 27-hp MD 11C (MK II). A 40­hp Westerbeke 4-107 was an option.
