Above deck, short-handed sailing is a breeze with all lines led safely aft to the deep, secure cockpit, . Below deck, the light-filled, warm mahogany interior accommodates up to six guests across two private double cabins and a convertible saloon, complete with a L-shaped galley, a dedicated navigation station, and a spacious head with a built-in wet locker.
