The hull is roughly made, with an irregular keel line and gunwale and curving pointed extremities. The posts are too similar to distinguish bow from stern. The inside has a painted keel line and thirteen ribs. Occupying the central area of the hull on the outside is a painted horizontal ladder, comprised of two horizontal parallel lines – one along the gunwale, the other a third of the height down – joined by 28 short vertical lines As on pictorial pottery, Wachsmann has argued that this motif represents an open rower's gallery with vertical stanchions. In this scenario, the 27 rower's 'rooms' are likely an approximation of a penteconter. Wedde however classifies this model as the Minoan Type IV ship, highlighting the difficulties in reading. There are seven irregular semi-circles on the keel line, and a line encircling the post at the right end.
