Integral longitudinal and transverse beams provide additional strength and rigidity. Structural bulkheads are hand-bonded to the hull and the engine bed is reinforced with steel plates.
The lead keel is attached to a moulded extension beneath the boat using 20mm diameter stainless steel bolts.

Deck:
The GRP deck is also hand-laid with a balsa-cored sandwich construction providing added strength and good insulation. The hull and the deck are through-bolted and bonded over with hand-laid GRP. The aluminium toerail can be upgraded to teak. The deck surface features a moulded non-slip surface. At the bow, there is a self-draining anchor locker.

The forward cabin has a V-berth arrangement with plenty of storage. An opening hatch provides ventilation and an emergency exit route.
The saloon can seat up to 5 persons. The saloon table has a drop-leaf section that lifts to provide a large table for meal times. The saloon seat is long enough to be used as an occasional sixth berth. Underneath the saloon seating is the port pilot berth, with a wardrobe at its head, adjacent to the heads compartment.
The aft double cabin door is adjacent to the companionway. Good headroom, floor space and light make the cabin practical and pleasant. Stowage includes a hanging locker, a storage locker and lockers under the berths.
