Key technical specifications include a length overall of 32.87 metres, a maximum beam of 7.51 metres, and a lightship displacement of 76,000 kg. The design includes a lifting keel, a transom that opens into a beach club, and a tender garage. Martino Majno, co-director of Nauta, accepted the award on behalf of the design team.
