A strong: dry and well equipped boat. The deep hull shape: long keel and the extra waterline length deliver light and responsive steering with just enough feel to let you know what’s happening. She is manoeuvrable and easy to handle and has a poetic motion in a seaway. The improved hull design: delivers performance: roominess: and style. Equipment includes a roller furler and lazy-jacks. All lines leading back to the cockpit: for security: under the sprayhood with three single-line reefs. She comes with a huge amount of standard equipment; electric anchor winch: holding tank: spray dodger: tridata instruments (wind: log and depth):  cockpit table: cockpit cushions: plus safety gear and DSC VHF radio: a 12-function 12V control panel and a Raymarine chartplotter at the helm station. With 6ft 5in headroom throughout and a two-cabin layout she is attractive to the taller sailor. A large double berth forward and a double quarter berth aft gives room for a decent sized bathroom. Full standing headroom in the shower area. A vanity unit with hot and cold pressurised water and a manual loo with standard holding tank complete the picture. The galley is well equipped with a two-burner stove: front-opening fridge: a separate top-opening icebox: stainless-steel double sink with hot and cold pressurised water: opening port and hatch for ventilation and manual foot pumps for both fresh water. The saloon is well lit and there’s a U-shaped settee to port : a folding dining table with fiddle rails: two overhead halogen lights and four reading lights. The companionway includes hinging steps supported by gas struts for engine access with additional access to the side and rear of the engine from the aft cabin.
