A solar roof incorporates 80-square-metres of solar panels and ventilation louvres above the cockpit.

Designed to allow Panama Canal transit she offers a healthy sail area displacement ratio and square top mainsail. The headsails are set up with a large overlapping genoa, a 105 percent blade and an off-wind Code sail on a subdeck furling unit. A delivery removable staysail on mast lock and subdeck tensioner.

The saloon is located on the main deck with side patio doors open to the side decks. The lower deck is effectively on one level and located above two battery banks which harvest the solar and regenerative energy.
