Propane 2 burner stove. Enclosed head with 5 gal holding tank. Much roomier than the Farrier tris and soldi decks are very convenient.Must be folded after it gets on the trailer with a sub frame to get the boat up high so the folding clears the fenders, but the boat can be launched without getting car wet.Has bathroom, stove, sink with water pressure, and water capacity of 10Gtowing weight 6K Full set of 5 sails. including genoa, storm jib and spinnaker, and roller furling genoa.

Because it is EFI [electronic fuel injection like all cars have been for last 30 years]. It is much more fuel efficient and you never need to worry about ethanol gumming up your carb[s].
