* The builders detials show the figures above, but the de-registration certificate from German registry in 2002 quotes 19.19 metres overall length, (62' 10") but her entry in the UK Part I Register gives 17.59 metres (57' 8") length, which will have been measured by a surveyor when she was first UK-registered.

The German designer Kurt Reinke designed a series of yachts for construction in hard-chine and multi-chine steel from 1972, through the 1980s and 1990s. This yacht is shown on plans as a 17.5M "Super-Hydra II", and appears to be an slightly modified version of the 16M design seen here.

Reinke designs almost all have the characteristic upper chine forming a tumblehome to the deck as in this yacht, with hull ports set into this section, whilst there is also a large deckhouse. The tumblehome will increase ultimate stability. We do not have the design specifications for the scantlings of this yacht, but on the recent survey it appeared from ultrasonic tests that the topsides were 6mm steel, and 8mm on the lower plating, with minimal thickness loss from these measurements.

There is a double forecabin, and aft of this is a lower saloon, with a heads compartment and a two-berth "Pullman" passage cabin.

The saloon and galley are separated by a counter and overhead shelving. The yacht has hot-water central heating radiators, which can be heated either by a Webasto diesel heater or by gas boiler.

The steps down to the saloon, galley and forward cabins are by the interior helm position.
Headroom in the wheelhouse/deck saloon is 6' 2", with about 6' 8" headroom below in the galley
and lower saloon.
