A round bilge hull with a raked stem, long keel, and a short counter stern.
The superstructure consists of fore, side and aft decks, the forward and after coachroof and the central wheelhouse.
The hull is of traditional timber construction (carvel laid iroko planking), with the stem, forefoot and keel are constructed from Iroko. The deck beams are constructed from Oak with Rock Elm frames.
To reduce on-going maintenence, the hull above the waterline has been slined with 6mm wide Iroko, and below with the waterline with 6mm wide Sikaflex.
The coachroof sides are of Iroko, with the coach roof constructed from American Ash sheathed on the outside with epoxy/glass laminate for a superior finish. The deck teak planking and plywood are all new, as are the wheelhouse and cabin roofs.
