Description:

The original open bridgedeck design was introduced by Malcolm Tennant in 1973. See Great Barrier Express. The Sportsdeck version has a fully moulded hull with a central cuddy. The accommodation space in the hulls extends over the bridgedeck, giving space for two double berths in addition to the two single ones in the forepeaks. Though considerably heavier than the racing version of this design, the boat's performance is lively.
