The hull and deck are GRP, in isophthalic resin.  The full length ballast keel has a keel hung rudder, and can also have either a steel centreplate, which when lowered increases the 4' 0"' draught to almost 8 feet, giving good windward performance for such a shallow draught boat, or twin steel bilge plates.   Whilst Barbicans are certainly not racers, neither are they slow.  They have a good record of long-distance ocean cruising, and a reputation for quality construction.  The interior fit-out is, as might be expected from looking at the classic lines, and solid deck fittings, designed for safety and comfort at sea, as well as when moored.  They were fitted out in a number of choices of timbers and veneers, including teak, mahogany and American white oak.
