Final prep of the hull, note the patented hull design, mono stem merging to catamaran running surfaces keeps the vessel tracking true

ring deck and pilothouse now installed, for safety the yacht was designed with sealed floatation compartments and check valves integrated on all thru-hulls to stop incoming water, providing the boats ability stay on the surface even in the event of taking a large wave over the transom.
