She sports a low aspect mainsail rig (48’ deck-stepped mast with a 22’ spar) built for the largely downwind run of the TransPac. While she is a custom design, her lines take inspiration from the big Sparkman & Stevens designs of the — most noticeably the 52’ yawl Dorade. Construction materials are Mahogany hull; Teak decks and interiors; Holly & teak soles; Oak structural framing (retrofit); Bird’s eye maple / ebony chart table.
