A traveller on the cockpit sole helps achieve
the optimum mainsail shape. An Arch is also an
option to make mainsail handling easier and to
help keep the sheet clear of the cockpit.A swim platform, which
lowers on a block and tackle,
is standard, but is removable- as is the cockpit table.

stowage between the aft
deck lockers.‘Humphreys' brief
