The forward recess in the coachroof has been well thought out: you’ll be well sheltered there, and just in front, as with the previous model, you can enjoy a jacuzzi (at least at anchor or in port). The manufacturer guarantees reliability and robustness. The mid-height helm station allows easy sail maneuvering, even when single-handing.
