Hull
Both the hull and the deck is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

Interior
The interior is like most other boats made of teak.
The boat is equipped with 5-7 berths, a galley and toilet facility.

Keel

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.65 - 0.75 meter (2.13 - 2.43 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.


Engine

Scand Classic 25 is typically equipped with an inboard Bukh DV36 diesel engine at 36.0 hp (26 kW).

The transmission is a shaft drive.
