Construction is ply bottom and sides with moulded ply round bilge. Originally conceived for the Yachting World design competition, this design uses the same water ballast tank system as the Highlander 18 making her 360 kg. lighter for trailing. Her main ballast is a fixed ply box keel filled with iron scrap and concrete. Instead of a single heavy lifting keel, she has a pair of bilge boards (or alternatively a pair of bilge keels).
