A few of the early boats were designed with a deep fin cast iron keel with a bulb. A fiberglass fin keel version was built in the late 1980s and early 1990s. As with the early cast iron fin boats only a few were manufactured. The fin keel hull, deck and cabin are identical to the shoal keel with centerboard boats. Montgomery 17 - swing keel
Other types feature a casing under the boat, which does not take up space but instead has the problem of increased drag. For this reason, it is not uncommon to find boats with a combination of shallow keel and centreboard (e.g. Randmeer).

The boat is supported by an active class club, the Jeanneau Owners Network. [11] In a 2019 review for Sail Magazine, Charles J. Doane found that some of the smaller sail plans, including then one he tested on the water, were under-powered. He concluded, "For anyone looking for a modern compact cruising sailboat this is a hard vessel to ignore.
The boat two centerboard configurations. One has a fixed keel and centerboard and it has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the centerboard extended and 2.50 ft (0.76 m) with it retracted. The other has a centerboard that retracts into a trunk and it has a draft of 5.42 ft (1.65 m) with the centreboard extended and 1.00 ft (0.30 m) with it ...
