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 150.0 liter fresh water capacity.

Engine

The boat may be equipped with dual outboard gasoline engines at 350 hp (260 kW).

The fuel tank has a capacity of 600.0 liters (158 US gallons, 131 imperial gallons).

The boat is by European Union certified as Class B. OFFSHORE:

Designed for offshore voyages where conditions up to, and including, wind force 8 (Beaufort scale) and significant wave heights up to, and including, 4 m may be experienced.

Immersion rate

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Voyager 30 (M) is about 186 kg/cm, alternatively 1046 lbs/inch.
