It has good manoeuvrability and sprint or maximum speed. It additionally has a good cruising speed, and requires little effort to keep it on a plane, which is crucial for a marathon boat. It can take a paddler of up to 80kg on a river.

It has a round hull from the nose through to the tail, with a full tail giving good volume preventing the tail from sinking into the water, alleviating the porpoise effect that can occur in boats and ensuring good speed through a turn. A subtle flare through the hip area adds a little bit more stability, making this a competitive river boat for the lighter paddler who doesn't want to sacrifice stability.
