• The hull and deck are a sandwich construction of infusion molded E-Glass/vinylester laminate featuring carbon fiber reinforcements. 
• The material lay up provides high fore and aft stiffness for better performance, rig control and durability. 
• The keel is T-shaped composite construction with a fin of high-tensile steel and a 3.2 ton lead bulb at 2.7m below the water line. 
• Both the keel and the rudder blade have been designed using Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis to guarantee optimal foil shapes.
