Construction
| Construction | GRP |
|---|---|
| Underwater profile | Wing Keel |
| Finish | Gelcoat finish |
Built with a heavy wing keel the MG Spring is great for faster sailing whilst also giving a comfortable 27% B/D ratio. Whilst also having only a 1m draft at full load even some of the more shallower areas can be explored and beaching is a great option due to the flat bottom keel and dual rudders.
