The concept and equipment match those of a typical bluewater cruising yacht, which can be comfortably sailed by a small crew. This is facilitated by the choice of rigging as a cutter-rigged sloop with a furling boom, as well as the layout, since everything can be safely operated from the sheltered cockpit. The living space below deck is ideally arranged with a large, bright deck salon, a seaworthy galley, a generous navigation corner, and a small workshop. Three double cabins, a large one in the fore and two in the aft, comfortably accommodate six people. The extensive use of wood creates a very homey atmosphere.
However, the yacht is not just about comfort; great emphasis is also placed on sailing performance. This is highlighted by the carbon fiber mast, which significantly reduces the top weight, contributing to pleasant seaworthiness. The deep keel also enhances sailing capabilities and increases sail area. To still allow access to shallower waters, the yacht is equipped with a hydraulically operated telescopic lifting keel.
