Interior Options All layouts provide double queen guest cabins. The generous U-shaped galley has ample space for preparing large meals and food storage for longer voyages. Plenty of counter space and a large galley sink make food preparation, while still interacting with other guests, a delightful task.

Hardware for flying an asymmetrical spinnaker is also standard, providing the owner with added versatility and fun.
