The side of the ship is depicted by ribbands attached to frame moulds. The sheer rises towards both ends. One wale and a sheer rail are indicated, both are painted black. The bow only features the stempost on which the bowsprit sits, with a knighthead positioned next to it. The stern has a round tuck and a hollow counter. Below the stern a straight, square-headed rudder is indicated. The hull is slightly S-bottomed and painted white below the waterline. The position of two masts and the bowsprit is shown in a truncated form.

Scale (on model) 1:30.
