Notes: One of the Classic range designs.\nThe Veed hull shapes with special shaping along the fine keel give all the lateral resistance needed, so no complex dagger boards or projecting keels.\nThe first commercial design was the Mk I. 486 plans for the Mk I were sold: \nLOA: 34 ft / 10.36 m\nLWL: 28.5 ft / 8.76 m\nThe Mk IV was the redesign with more freeboard, wider hulls, full standing headroom and a redesigned sail rig.\nHull beam: 5.67 ft / 1.73 m.\nMax sail area: 680 sqft / 63.2 sqm
