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.
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 interior is like few other boats made in fibreglass.
The boat is equipped with 3 cabins, 6 berths, a galley, 113.0 liter fresh water capacity, toilet facility and 102.0 liter waste water capacity.
The boat may be equipped with dual inboard MerCruiser engines at 520 hp (387 kW). Max speed is 40.0 knots.
The transmission is a Z-drive aka sterndrive.
The fuel tank, which is made of stainless steel, has a capacity of 454.0 liters (119 US gallons, 99 imperial gallons).
