Very traditional galley lay out only that everything is laminated from carbon sandwich panels with foam core. Even the ice box!. The whole bench top plate weights 3 kg. The structure is laminated to the hull to provide extra stiffness.

View of the cockpit area when the deck was first fitted to the hull. The mass of the complete deck is just under 200 kg and features carbon skins and a foam core. Both deck skins were vacuum infused with epoxy resin.
