Both the hull and the deck is a sandwich construction which improves the indoor climate. Especially when the water is colder than the air in the cabin, then the double hull insulates against cold water and reduce the condense water in the cabin.
The boat is equipped with a galley and toilet facility.
The boat may be equipped with an inboard Ford diesel engine at 90 hp (67 kW). Cruise speed is 7.0 knots. Max speed is 9.0 knots.
