The boat is suitable for amateur production. Early models were usually made from plywood. More recent models have been made from fiberglass. Variations on the design include the daggerboard-equipped El Toro from the Richmond Yacht Club in San Francisco Bay Area, the US Sabot, the "Naples Sabot" from Naples community of Long Beach, California, as well as Australian varieties, such as the Holdfast Trainer.
