Standard on deck are a teak cockpit floor, twin wheels and an integrated bowsprit. The deck is fully walkable, even in rough weather, with a flush layout free of steps and with non-slip surfaces. The crew area is clearly laid out and sheltered, which makes sailing with a small crew easier.
Below deck there are three double cabins and two bathrooms, one of them with a separate shower. The Bellissima version gets full-height cupboards, leather and carbon-look upholstery and hand-finished details, with fine wood and white lacquerwork. There is generous storage space and warm, indirect lighting.
The hull and deck are built in sandwich construction with biaxial and unidirectional glass fibre, vinylester resin and carbon reinforcements. The cast-iron keel with lead bulb gives a draught of 2.10 metres, optionally 2.30 metres. Propulsion comes from a 30 hp inboard diesel. The design is by Matteo Polli.
