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 2 berths, a galley and toilet facility.

Keel

The boat can sail close to the beach as the draft is just 0.35 - 0.45 meter (1.15 - 1.45 ft) dependent of the load. See immersion rate below.

Engine

Coronet 22 Daycruiser is typically equipped with dual inboard Volvo Penta engines at 290.0 hp (216 kW).

The fuel tank which is made of galvanized iron has a capacity of 220.0 liters (58 US gallons, 48 imperial gallons).
