The Edel 820 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with teak wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel or tiller and a fixed fin keel or stub keel and centreboard. It displaces 7,050 lb (3,198 kg) and carries 2,646 lb (1,200 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 4.33 ft (1.32 m), while the centreboard-equipped version has a draft of 5.92 ft (1.80 m) with the centreboard extended and 3.28 ft (1.00 m) with it retracted.[1]

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo Penta MD7A diesel engine of 13 hp (10 kW) connected to a Volvo Penta 110S saildrive. Some boats have been retrofitted with a small outboard motor in place of the inboard diesel, for docking and maneuvering.[2]

Below decks the design has 6 ft (183 cm) headroom. Sleeping accommodation is provided for six adults, with a "V"-berth forward, two berths in the main cabin and two aft berths. The design employs teak brightwork. The galley has a two-burner gimbaled propane-powered stove an ice box and a manually-pumped water system. There is also a navigation chart table and a head with an 18 U.S. gallons (68 L; 15 imp gal) tank.[2]

gollark: I don't think so. Of course, you can probably configure it to run a shellscript or something to upload your files, which is basically good enough.
gollark: Flameshot? Probably. Most tools can be chained into other tools too.
gollark: Oh, this is cool, Android finally has a moderately sane generic way to run different ROMs and so you can run Ubuntu Touch on basically any new device now.
gollark: There are a ton of perfectly good Linux screenshot tools.
gollark: You are missing a bracket, among probably many other problems.
