The Horizon is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. The majority were built with a masthead sloop rig, although some were built with a cutter rig. It features a spooned raked stem, a very rounded and bulbous transom, a skeg-mounted rudder, with a portion protruding around the transom, controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 7,000 lb (3,175 kg) and carries 2,250 lb (1,021 kg) of ballast. [1] [2]

The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the standard fin keel. It was factory-fitted with a Swedish Volvo diesel engine of 9 hp (7 kW). The fuel tank holds 10 U.S. gallons (38 L; 8.3 imp gal), while the fresh water tank has a capacity of 30 U.S. gallons (110 L; 25 imp gal). [1] [2]

The design has a hull speed of 6.43 kn (11.91 km/h). [2]
