Overview:

The hull is a semi-displacement design that is produced using resin infusion moulding, which basically relies on a vacuum to draw resin through the mould for more even resin distribution. Other claimed advantages include improved strength and lighter weight. Additional strength comes in the form of an under-deck fibreglass stringer system, with bags of plastic beads packed between the stringers to provide flotation.
Smartliners use a raised, self-draining deck design, the deck moulding contoured and angled to flush water down both sides to the scuppers.
A couple of distinctive design features include the keel, which provides a solid backbone for the hull. It begins near the front of the hull, merging with the forefoot and becoming quite prominent until about a metre from the stern – very similar to the Arvor from which it is obviously drawn. It also features fairly wide strakes, which flare out early from the bow and play a major part in the hull’s sea-keeping abilities.
