Her naval architecture has been modified in several aspects, for example the keel and the sail plan.

The new sail plan features a square top mainsail, an extended boom and a 4-meter bowsprit to maximise the sail surface.

They include work on the deck house and the use of carbon for various fittings, as well as the optimisation of the propulsion system and structural features.

The new design combines the characteristics of the 42m E-volution series, including clean lines, ample space and a big stern platform, with a more streamlined deck house as requested by the owner. The interior design will be created by Barcelona-based firm GCA jointly with Perini Navi.
