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 interior is like few other boats made in fibreglass.
The boat is equipped with one cabin, 3 berths, a galley and toilet facility.


Keel

Unknown keel type

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.50 - 0.60 meter (1.64 - 1.94 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

The transmission is a Z-drive.

The fuel tank has a capacity of 267.0 liters (70 US gallons, 58 imperial gallons).
