• The hull is single-skinned GRP construction
• A structural inner moulding is bonded and laminated to the hull at various points.
• Its structural role is important as it takes and absorbs the stresses at pressure points (chain plate tie rods, keel, rudder etc.) and spreads any loads, guaranteeing reduced strain on the hull
• The surface to the inner hull makes cleaning easier and provides a better finish
• The structure of the hull with the inner moulding provides housing for the diesel and water tanks in the central part, enabling an optimised weight ratio and giving excellent control of the longitudinal stability of the boat
• The deck is balsa sandwich construction for an optimal strength/weight ratio and good thermal and sound insulation

• The stainless steel propeller shaft is fitted to and protected by a skeg in the GRP hull
