The boat has a draft of 7.25 ft (2.21 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]

The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines 4108 diesel engine of 50 hp (37 kW). The fuel tank holds 50 U.S. gallons (190 L; 42 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 150 U.S. gallons (570 L; 120 imp gal).[1]
