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.


Interior

The boat is equipped with a galley.


Keel

Unknown keel type

The boat can sail close to the beach as the draft is just 0.32 - 0.42 meter (1.05 - 1.35 ft) dependent of the load. See immersion rate below.


Engine

Quicksilver 435 Cabin may be equipped with an outboard engine at 40 hp (29 kW).
