Bow
Deck is spelt "FLUSH" with capital letters. All hatches are leveled with the deck. The anchor and cleats are easily accessible below the deck. Ropes and furlers are also hidden.
Midship
The esthetically balanced superstructure is a geometrical copy of the hull shape. Its impeccably laid teak deck seamlessly emerges from the main deck, providing some 200 cm head-room in most cabins. The oversized superstructure is laterally flat, inviting to enjoy the large surface for games and relaxation, which is the reason we simply had the deck-chairs integrated directly into the deck - one of many one-off solutions!
Blocks, travellers, winches and the full range of deck-mounted trimming equipment have their carefully selected positions with extended trim possibilities.
Stern
Starting midship and extending into the blue water is the lounge inspired cockpit, where you will surely spend most of the non-sleeping hours. With a fully retractable table there is nothing to obstruct the crew during ocean races. |

If stretching out in the comfortable and ergonomic lounge sofas is not your thing, pure excitement is guaranteed when taking fingertip control of the 20 ton yacht at one of the two carbon steering wheels. Even though you may still prefer to rely on your own bearings and visible way-points, it may be comforting to know that state-of-the-art navigation electronics is within hands reach, crystal clearly displayed at the flush-mounted helmsman command centers.
The advantages of a semi-open cockpit at the stern are extended cockpit storage space, better protection and greater feeling of safety. A cleverly designed sliding section easily opens up for shore access, facilitated through steps carved out of the stern, which hydraulically opens up as a bathing platform. Inside this opening is a vast compartment holding bikes, golf clubs, scuba tanks and compressor, surf- and other water sports equipment. The hydraulic gangway is also used to launch a 40+ knot ribjet; safe for the kids to play with and which quickly transports you out to and in from hard to reach dive sites, not to mention general safety aspects.
Referring to pictures in the Gallery, one version includes an overhead bow. The advantages are an uncluttered cockpit, an extra support for the spray hood, lights, loudspeakers, etc. and the mainsail traveler being mounted onto the bow as opposed to a fix position in the cockpit. The deck is already prepared for the bow, so adding it at a later stage is always an option. |
