Design

The Brick is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of wood. It has a 9/10 fractional sloop rig, with a single set of unswept spreaders. The hull has a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. The deck has a reverse sheer.[1]

It displaces 3,968 lb (1,800 kg) and carries 1,543 lb (700 kg) of ballast. It has a hull speed of 6.19 kn (11.46 km/h).[1]
