Both the hull and the deck is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.
The interior is like most other boats made of teak. Teak has the advantage of being naturally very oily and therefore water-repellent, which is suitable on boats.
The boat is equipped with 2 cabins, 4+3 berths, a galley, 250.0 liter fresh water capacity and toilet facility.
Fin keel
The Piewiet 1100 is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a full keel.
The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.70 - 1.80 meter (5.58 - 5.88 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Piewiet 1100 may be equipped with an inboard Yanmar 3GM30 diesel engine at 27 hp (20 kW). Cruise speed is 7.0 knots.
The transmission is a saildrive.
The fuel tank, which is made of stainless steel, has a capacity of 90.0 liters (23 US gallons, 19 imperial gallons).
