• - Hull and deck include numerous fiberglass reinforcements designed to ensure maximum rigidity without adding excessive weight, and the balsa-polyester sandwich provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. Areas where fittings are installed are solid polyester.
• - The deck is bolted to the hull and overmolded for perfect sealing and a true bond with the hull, protected by a solid teak strip with an inox trim.
• - Main bulkheads are laminated to the hull and deck, contributing to the overall strength as each bulkhead adds rigidity to the boat.
