Full description
Show full description
The vessel has two identical half-beam VIP double guest cabins at the front of the saloon, which is rare for a vessel of this size.
The boat is designed for shorthanded sailing with clever, simple systems. Options include carbon or aluminium rigging with in-boom or in-mast reefing, plus an optional self-tacking jib. Performance figures include nine knots close-hauled with responsive steering.
Key features include twin helm seats with swivel function and a folding table that transforms the aft deck into a social area. Notable innovations include a lowered swim platform, a tender garage in the transom and a rear-facing hull window from the owner’s cabin.
The larger hull proportions allow for wider saloon areas and a larger owner’s cabin. The design features multiple hull windows, LED lighting, a soft colour scheme and bulkheads finished in curved, ribbed wood or vertical leather panels.
