The Espace 1300 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim and a masthead sloop rig. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a two wheels, one on the cockpit and one in the wheelhouse, It has a stub keel and retractable centerboard, or optional fixed fin keel. It displaces 26,460 lb (12,002 kg) and carries 10,141 lb (4,600 kg) of ballast. ^{[1] [2]}

The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 6.89 ft (2.10 m), while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of 8.79 ft (2.68 m) with the centerboard extended and 5.02 ft (1.53 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water. ^{[1] [2]}

The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines diesel engine of 82 hp (61 kW). The fuel tank holds 105 U.S. gallons (400 L; 87 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 209 U.S. gallons (790 L; 174 imp gal). ^{[1] [2]}

The main salon has a U-shaped settee around a dinette table on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side amidships. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a double sink. The navigation station is located in the raised wheelhouse, on the port side. There are two heads, one just forward of the forward cabin in the bow and one on the starboard side below the wheelhouse. ^{[1] [2]}
