The bow features only a stempost and two large bollard timbers. The stern has a round tuck and a hollow counter. The model has no taffrail, galleries or rudder. The sheer rises towards both ends. Two wales and a sheer rail are indicated, painted black. The hull is S-bottomed and painted white below the waterline. The position of three masts and the bowsprit is shown in a truncated form.
