This type 3 vessel has a flat, outlined hull that curves to a straight, pointed prow and bends sharply to a vertical stern. The top of the stern bends forward, up, and forward again. The triangular rudder is partly behind the hull and has a vertical side. The mast is amidships and an unclear number of lines lead from its tip to a yard; the yard extends from the prow beyond the stern. There are cabins fore and aft, the latter using the mast as its forward side. A second line below the yard before the forward cabin is of uncertain significance.
