Construction.
One piece construction with bulkheads running from hull to hull through the bridgedeck professionally glassed in. Chainplates connected to bulkheads via 10mm L-brackets. Vinylester resins and closed cell foam were used in the construction and extra layer of Kevlar below the waterline. Keels with shoes for easy beaching and well engineered Aluminium crossbeam connected to L-brackets bolted to the bulkheads. High bridgedeck clearance and optimal distance between hulls, makes for efficient fast sailing and no slapping. Large solid bimini running up to the transom with front, side and rear clears gives full weather protection to cockpit.
