    Integrity is a timber-built sailing boat based upon yacht designs of the late 1880s. She was designed and built by Stirling and Son Ltd in Plymouth, UK. Her vital statistics are 43ft (13.1m) LOD, with a weight of 23 tonnes. Her length over the spars is 60ft (18m) as she has a long bowsprit extending forward and a boom that projects over the stern. She has a topmast that can be sent aloft in fine weather or housed against the main mast in windy weather. She also carries a square sail for downwind work. She is traditionally built and rigged with a minimum of electronics and systems. The underlying essence of the boat is one of functional aesthetics.
