Unique Features
The hull shape was designed to be highly suitable for sponge diving.
The abacus covered 1/3 of the stern height.
The vessel featured a deep draught and pronounced sheer.
Its distinct hull design required significant ballast for normal sailing and adequate stability.
A unique characteristic was the painting of each plank row on the bulwark and upper hull with a different colour before installation on the frame. Common colours included blue, green, white, and brown.
