The engine mounting is integrated inside the mold. The engine compartment is soundproofed with insulating foam. Engine control panel (tachometer and alarms) with engine control lever in the port cockpit. The stainless steel propeller shaft is protected in a GRP skeg molded with the hull. Fixed three- or two-blade propeller depending on the engine. 75 L rotomolded fuel tank with electric gauge. Water filter for cooling system.
The hull is built in monolithic GRP. Reinforced points (keel, rudder, shroud plates, hull-deck joint) strengthen the structure. A structural inner molding is glued and laminated to the hull. Its structural role is important as it absorbs stresses at pressure points (shroud, keel, rudder, etc.) and distributes loads, ensuring stress reduction on the hull. The surface material of the interior molding facilitates cleaning and improves finish. The stainless steel propeller shaft is mounted and protected in a GRP skeg. The standard hull color is white with a blue and silver scheme. Steel Blue is available as an option. The deck is sandwich construction (fiberglass and balsa) for optimal strength-to-weight ratio and thermal and acoustic insulation. A "diamond point" non-slip surface increases safety in all deck walking areas.
