Yes!
The MKII came out in 1987. Changes include a "T" shaped cockpit, different shaped cabin windows, a flatter floor in the cabin, a liner on the overhead (no more acorn nuts on the ceiling, a slightly different hanging locker and nav table. On deck the fairlead tracks were moved inboard, the traveler is straight and there is no more starboard lazerette. The steering system is improved with all parts accessable thru a deck hatch, and the knuckle for the emergency tiller is flush with the deck (under a cover). Engine controls were moved to the binacle and instruments moved up to the coaming. Lots of other little improvements over the original mark 1 but the hull shape stayed the same.
