The Ventio has the same hulls as its sibling, but with a larger and completely redesigned nacelle to allow for assembly/disassembly. Each hull houses two cabins. As an option, one bathroom is available. The galley can be placed below decks or in watertight lockers on the nacelle. As for the appendages, the options are either skeg keels or daggerboards.
