The engine installation is integrated into the internal mold. The engine compartment is soundproofed with insulating foam. Engine control panel (tachometer and alarms) with engine control lever in the port cockpit. Stainless steel prop shaft protected in a GRP skeg molded with the hull. Fixed propeller with three or two blades depending on the engine. Rotomolded fuel tank of 75 L with electric gauge. Water filter for the cooling system.

The hull is constructed in GRP monocoque. Reinforced points (keel, rudder, shroud plates, hull-deck joint) strengthen the structure. A structural inner mold is glued and laminated to the hull. Its structural role is significant, as it absorbs stresses at pressure points (stays, keel, rudder, etc.) and distributes the loads, ensuring reduced stresses on the hull. The surface material of the inner mold facilitates cleaning and improves finish. The stainless steel propeller shaft is mounted and protected in a GRP skeg. The standard color of the hull is white with blue and silver livery. Steel Blue is available as an option. The deck is of 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 moving areas on the deck.
