The carbon mast is a Hall spar with hydraulic trim, twin spreaders, and a retractable boom. Rigging is DYFORM standing rig with DYNEMA running lines, annually inspected. The sail plan includes a 2022 carbon mainsail, two carbon jibs with furlers, a code zero, and two asymmetric spinnakers, all from Advanced Sails. Deck hardware throughout is Harken and Spinlock, with primary winches electric. The steering is hydraulic with a carbon wheel and carbon rudder blade.
