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 many other boats made of mahogany. Mahogany belongs to the hardwood species, known for being water-repellent and resistant to decay. It has an attractive wood grain and holds wood polish and varnish well.
The boat is equipped with one cabin, 2 berths, a galley, 160.0 liter fresh water capacity and toilet facility.


Keel

Unknown keel type

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.48 - 0.58 meter (1.57 - 1.87 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.


Engine

Diva Royal may be equipped with dual inboard Volvo Penta engines at 550 hp (409 kW). The speed is 52.0 knots.

The fuel tank has a capacity of 500.0 liters (132 US gallons, 109 imperial gallons).


Sailing characteristics

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.

Immersion rate

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Diva Royal is about 120 kg/cm, alternatively 675 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 120 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 675 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
