The single-skinned hull is GRP and glass fibre construction with balsa stringers. ? A structural inner moulding is bonded to the hull. 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 of the inner moulding makes cleaning easier and provides a better finish. The hull gel coat is white.
