Designed at the beginning of fifties by Conrad Gulcher and Uus Van Essen immediatly became famous for its racing properties and 1960 was introduced as Olimpic Class.

Probably it is the boat with the major number of innovation through the moder era, like:

- first boat to use a trapeze gear

- first boat to introduce the genoa

- first to use the spinnaker pole launcher

- Self draining cockpit

And many others
