Built by Pinder & Son with a solid all-steel hull: baseplate approx. 10–12 mm, hull sides 6–8 mm, and deck/superstructure 4–6 mm. As far as we are aware, the boat benefits from professional welding and strong structural design, providing long-term reliability.
Regular blacking and anode protection appear to have kept the hull in excellent condition
