Both the hull and the deck is made of hand laid fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of hand laid 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.

The boat is equipped with 2 cabins, 7 berths, a galley, 150.0 liter fresh water capacity and toilet facility.
Unknown keel type
The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.70 - 0.80 meter (2.30 - 2.60 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Draco 2700 Sterling is typically equipped with a Volvo Penta DP engine at 290 hp (216 kW). The speed is 37.0 knots..
The transmission is a Z-drive.
The fuel tank, which is made of stainless steel, has a capacity of 400.0 liters (105 US gallons, 87 imperial gallons).
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level.
The immersion rate for Draco 2700 Sterling is about 171 kg/cm, alternatively 962 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 171 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm.
Alternatively, if you load 962 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
