Marisol, meaning “sea and sun” in Spanish, was designed by Gifford Jackson of Auckland, New Zealand. He wanted a little day boat that he could launch and sail singlehandedly, but one that would also be artistically expressive. The boat that emerged looks rather like something out of the 18th century with her decorative color scheme, jaunty sheer, and details. Her construction is modern-glued plywood with laminated trim.
