Designers, Owen Clarke Design have created this large lifting keel performance blue water cruiser with long distance family ocean cruising in mind. The aft deck terrace provides a safe area in the stern of the yacht for children's play or for the owners to relax. Al Fresco dining can be had without moving to the cockpit, simply by rolling back the roof over the main salon. In terms of performance, the goal was not just to create a modern comfortable sailboat, but to retain the connection with the elements and create a large cruising yacht which is luxurious while remaining responsive and exciting to sail. With the emphasis on comfort on deck, underway, alongside, or at anchor, the owner and guests have three separate areas in which to relax, away if they wish from the sailing activity of the yacht. The owners have their own private aft terrace on the sea with direct access to their accommodation. The elevated sun lounging deck separates this area from the central cockpit which is the practical protected safe haven in all condition when sailing offshore, as well as a being a comfortable outside dining and lounging area. With the rise in demand for private yacht owners chartering, the interior layout presented here offers five owner/guest cabins with full width owner’s stateroom leading onto the aft terrace. The guest cabins can be modified to suit either twin or double bed arrangements and additional pullman berths can be fitted to the forward guest cabins to offer greater flexibility for families with children. Commensurate for a yacht of this size, the interior includes practical features such as a day heads for guests, a separate laundry and the galley incorporates both food preparation and plating up areas. The wide side decks around the superstructure connect the aft terrace to the clear uncluttered flush foredeck and discrete ‘gates’ in the coamings enable access to the cockpit. One of the prominent features of this sailing yacht is the large sliding glass section of the coachroof which retracts to provide enhanced ‘al fresco dining’ with the full facilities of the saloon area available under a closed or open roof and aft bulkhead. The deck saloon incorporates the navigation/watch keeping station, a dining area for ten, large sofa seating area, sideboards and dedicated bar facilities.
