Hull

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

Engine

The boat may be equipped with an outboard Mercury Verado 200 gasoline engine at 200 hp (149 kW). Cruise speed is 26.0 knots. Max speed is 33.0 knots.
