It combines a manageable size with features normally found on larger yachts, whilst maintaining a sleek design despite its modest displacement of 11 tonnes.
The balanced profile, with its freeboard, sheer line and sleek cabin, gives the boat a timeless look. Twin helm stations, wide decks and a highly functional cockpit enhance its practicality. A folding transom transforms the stern into a swimming and boarding platform. Two deck plan options, Shorthanded and Performance, offer different layouts. Rigging options include aluminium or carbon masts with multiple reefing options, an integrated extendable bowsprit and an optional hydraulically tensioned split backstay.
Four cabin layouts offer flexibility, with twin-berth cabins or alternative layouts featuring more storage space or workspace. The saloon has space for a navigation corner or a second shower. Finishes include curved cabinetry, upholstered panelling and Corian galley worktops with mood lighting.
