It is a factory option. IIRC, it uses leebords, rather than a daggerboard, since the boat has no daggerboard trunk. The Lateen rigged sail is only offered for the three larger sizes and the 8'6" porta-bote has a cat-rigged setup available for it. Believe both
rigs are designed by Rolly Trasker.
I hope that helps.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
