Steel deck beams are bracketed above to support the topsides. The hull shell strakes are of 5mm steel plating below the water line. The top sides and deck areas are 4mm steel plating.

The main steel hull structure is wholly welded which was originally undertaken to a high standard by Co Coded Welding company.

There is a semi balanced NACA profile rudder on a 70mm stainless steel shaft. There is also an emergency steering capability.

The topsides are bound by stainless steel guard wires to and from stainless steel push and pull pits.
