The hull is made of fibreglass. A hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.
The deck is a sandwich construction which improves the indoor climate. Especially when the water is colder than the air in the cabin, then the double hull insulates against cold water and reduce the condense water in the cabin.
The hull shape is deep V. Generally, a deep V hull gives a more comfortable cruise because it helps the boat cut through waves while minimizing impacts, help the boat bank into turns, and throw less spray. However, a deep V hull reduces stability and requires more power.
The boat is equipped with 2 cabins, 4+2 berths, a galley, 500 liters (132 US gallons, 109 imperial gallons) fresh water capacity and toilet facility.
The fuel tank has a capacity of 1000 liters (264 US gallons, 219 imperial gallons).
The boat may be equipped with dual inboard Cummins diesel engines at 850 hp (633 kW). Max speed is 30.0 knots.
The transmission is a shaft drive. A shaft drive will in the long run require less maintenance than other types of drive e.g. a sail drive.
