Notes

Sail area above includes main + genoa.
A novel feature was a galvanised tubular steel skeg which, in addition to the two mild-steel bilge plates, provided a third point of support for taking the ground.
Later, a modified design was offered, known as the Midshipman Weekender. This had a longer cabin and two full-length berths.
