The hull was divided into six watertight compartments with 129 separate air cases. The lifeboat's self-bailing capabilities consisted of 18 relieving scuppers, which could free the hull of water entirely in an estimated 20 seconds. [3] The Cecil Paine had a top speed of 7.42 kn (13.74 km/h) and a cruising speed of 7.0 kn (13.0 km/h). [2]
The Coast Guard bills the 52-foot MLBs as "virtually unsinkable", with self-righting and self-bailing capabilities and the ability to tow vessels as large as 750 long tons (760 t) in 30-foot (9.1 m) seas. [5] In comparison, the next-largest 47' MLB has a towing capacity of 150 long tons (150 t). [6]
For some modern types of dinghies in sailing sports hand bailers can be obsolete when they are equipped with self bailers, sometimes also called automatic bailers. Self-bailing boats are shaped so that they will drain completely if filled with water; powered by the venturi effect and the motion of the boat, they are distinct from the powered bilge pumps used on non-self-bailing boats.

With the addition of adjustable twin backstays the boat can be equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker of 69 sq ft (6.4 m 2) or a conventional spinnaker of 85 sq ft (7.9 m 2). [1] [4] [7] [8]
In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood described the design as, "a beamy, stable small day sailer. Javelin has an unusually large (nine-foot) cockpit, a gear locker under the seats, and a lockable storage compartment under the deck. She is self-bailing and self-rescuing. The transom is reinforced to take outboards up to eight horsepower." [3]
The cockpit is thus self-bailing. The hull may be sealed, or perforated by hatches and deck fixtures. Contrary to popular belief, the sit-on-top kayak hull is not self-bailing, since water penetrating it does not drain out automatically, as it does in bigger boats equipped with self-bailing systems. Furthermore, the sit-on-top hull cannot be ...
