The hull is narrow, with a beam of 2.49 metres and a waterline length of 7.88 metres. The boat has a fixed keel with a draught of 1.60 metres. The ballast accounts for 35 per cent of the displacement of 2,300 kilograms, resulting in a rigid boat.
The sail plan consists of a 27-square-metre mainsail in the standard configuration. With a high-performance rig, the maximum sail area is 44 square metres. For broad-reaching, there is a furling gennaker measuring 48 square metres.
The yard notes that the specified values may vary if optional equipment is selected.
