The hull has been carvel built with selected full-length spotted gum planking, copper fastenings, cotton and oakum caulking, and a huon pine transom, making it beautiful, strong and durable. Engine beds and stern gear (bearing, tube, and gland) are also included. At the purchaser's request it can be given a glass and epoxy- sheathed plywood foredeck and side-decks.

This would make an ideal motor cruiser or fishing launch, and the builder is happy to provide advice on further fit-out, together with introductions to other shipwrights who could help complete the vessel if required.
