Design

The Hilbre One Design is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of wood with clinker construction. It has a fractional sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centreboard. It displaces 2,000 lb (907 kg) and carries 500 lb (227 kg) of iron ballast. [1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 4.42 ft (1.35 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.56 ft (0.48 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer. [1] [3]

For downwind sailing the design is equipped with a spinnaker. [1] [3]
