Boat body is made of a selected ship construction pine. Longitudinal frame is made laminated. Facing is clinker planked with copper suds, and ribs are made bent. All metal parts are made of construction steel. All parts are fastened with galvanized bolts and screws. From the outside the boat body is grounded with red lead and covered with enamel.
