Increased cabin sitting headroom:
Improved upwind performance with jib track on top of cabin. Note the second fairlead leading rope to inward facing cleat for sensible control ergonomics. The mast here looks to be stepped too far forward. Lee helm may result.
Interesting bow rail:
Impressively fabricated rail. Note boarding step on transom. Also a traveller mid cockpit to facilitate improved control of mainsail shape.
Extended cabin
Trim tabs to help get boat on plane
Clever mast step steering wheel attachment quickly converts sail boat/canoe to a motor boat.
Has been highly modified and is an excellent harbour racer for 2 to 3 adults, it has the following..
-60kg bulb centre board.
-Extended mast (27 ft high).
- 2 jibs one is half kevlar half dacron the other is dacron.
-Self tacking jib.
-2 kites, bow sprit and spiniker pole.
Nicely added backrest/freeboard. Clever hinged cabin doors.

Lots of Modifications: Motor well, Hinged cabin hatch, Kick-up rudder, Backrest/added freeboard, etc
Storing/transporting your mast off centre as shown is a very good idea as it allows you to easily access both cockpit and cabin in preparation and packing up without obstruction. The mast can still be stepped from the off centre rear support.
