The side of the ship is depicted by ribbands attached to frame moulds. Above the wale the side is planked. A black rail on stanchions runs along the entire length of the ship. The sheer rises towards both ends. One wale and a sheer rail are indicated, both are painted black. The stern has a round tuck and a hollow counter and a taffrail. Below the stern a straight, square-headed rudder is indicated. The hull is S-bottomed and painted white below the waterline. The position of two masts and the bowsprit is shown in a truncated form. Both masts rake considerably.

Scale (derived) approx. 1:30.
