In his letter to the Partners of October 1977 Guiseppe Caprio selected the masthead sloop, five berth layout, long doghouse on the raised topside hull. Later he requested the bermudan cutter rig as an alternative for consideration. The yacht was to be constructed of carvel planking on steamed timbers and grown frames for which the construction plan was marked up in red ink by designer Barry van Geffen’s hand. The keel would be cast iron and Guiseppe would build this yacht himself with construction guidance from the design firm.
To accompany the new bermudan cutter rig the Partners also offered the associated deck fittings plan for consideration because although the standard deck plan 1366 was appropriate for the doghouse arrangement and general layout of deck hardware it was not suitable for the standing and running rigging of the cutter rig. Unusually a non-standard body plan and table of offsets was issued for this yacht – that of Vertue V66 Araok (design number 0240).
