In the raised saloon, six adults sit around an extendable dining table, with all-round views through large windows. The saloon, galley and navigation station are on this level, above a midships cabin, a workshop and deep storage space. An optional lowering saloon table turns the saloon into an extra double bed.

The layout is semi-custom: there are versions with four, five or six berths, including an aft cabin to starboard, a V-berth or an island bed forward and two heads compartments with shower. According to the yard, more than eight variants have already been requested and custom designs are possible.

The hull is hand-laid fibreglass from a single mould, with Corecell foam sandwich above the waterline and vinylester gelcoat. There is a choice of a 2.30 m fin keel (options 2.00 or 1.75 m), a 1.45 m twin keel or a 0.95 to 2.50 m swing keel. The engine is a Volvo Penta D2-50 with saildrive and folding propeller.

Standard equipment includes a 130-litre fridge, a Rocna anchor with electric windlass, Flexiteek on deck and a Selden rig with two spreaders and a self-tacking jib. Key dimensions: length up to 12.90 m (hull 11.99 m), waterline 11.17 m, beam 4.08 m, displacement 11 tonnes, ballast approximately 3.45 tonnes and 81.3 m² of sail.
