Hull
The hull is made of plywood.

Interior
The boat is equipped with 4 berths.
Note: the boat has also been sold to be self-made/-interiored, which means that the quality of each boat may vary.

Rig
Stanley 19 has more than one rig.

One option is a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.

Another option is a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.

Engine

An outboard motor is often used on this boat. In that case the boat will typically require a power of 2 - 3 hp, alternatively 33 - 40 lbs thrust if you prefer an electrical motor. Electric outboards are becoming popular for sailboat owners who want clean instant power with less noise and no exhaust fumes.

The fuel tank has a capacity of 20 liters (5 US gallons, 4 imperial gallons).
