The sheer rises towards both ends. One wale and a sheer rail are indicated, both are painted black. The bow features an empty beakhead and a black knighthead. The stern has a round tuck, a hollow counter and a taffrail with a damaged top. Below the stern a straight, square-headed rudder is indicated. The hull is S-bottomed and painted white below the waterline. The position of two masts and the bowsprit is shown in a truncated form.

Scale (derived) approx. 1:48.
