Parts are formed and joined within the mold into one piece from hand laid-up fiberglass with a black gelcoat. The decks are also formed, with the mechanical hatch opening, from fiberglass, upon which the wooden surface that has the planking seams and required holes screened on it is glued. Pre-cut bulwarks are provided. Ships' wheels, channels, and deadeyes are provided as CNC precision-cut parts. These can be modified and repainted.
Access below is by a mechanically sealed hatch.
The lip of this hatch fits into an internal frame that acts as a well to preclude water from entering the below-decks. Masts, booms and yards are birch. Yards and the sail booms are all tapered and slotted for the sails. Extra yards are provided to allow sails to be left furled or reefed on the duplicate yard. The tops and caps are assembled from CNC cut hardwood.
