The deck has been painted black and is fitted with a single stump mast and a bowsprit, both of which are finished in natural wood and varnished. The hull shape consists of a long curved raking bow with a rudder attached to the keel which is situated under a long overhanging counter stern. The whole model is mounted on a mahogany backboard with a moulded edge which has been varnished.
