Design
The Bombardier 3.8 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has an unstayed catboat rig, a raked stem, vertical transom, a wooden transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a wooden daggerboard keel. It displaces 110 lb (50 kg).[1]
The boat has a draft of 2.60 ft (0.79 m) with the daggerboard down and 0.33 ft (0.10 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer or car top.[1]

gollark: It does, however, lack nice stuff like lifetimes.
gollark: Also, non-horrible crosscompiling.
gollark: So generally pretty good for low-level applications.
gollark: And has a significant safety focus.
