Above this space, it is possible to fit a removable
bimini top that provides a large shaded area when
the boat is at anchor. The side decks are wide and
comfortable to walk on. The low shrouds land near
the deckhouse and the high shrouds on the hull, so
the walkway towards the stern is unobstructed. The
cockpit is quite large and divided into two areas. One
area is reserved for guests. This space is completely
devoid of manoeuvring gear because all gear has
been moved back near the wheelhouses so as to
enable, on one hand, the helmsman to handle the
sails on his own, and on the other hand, guests to
enjoy sailing without being disturbed by the crew.
The cockpit benches have been lengthened and
extend up to the steering pedestals. The final part is
a small locker, suitable for storing the lines coming
from the arrays of cam cleats.The choice to leng
-
then the benches and sacrifice the working space
between the steering wheel and the bench was
made considering that, in any case, the tailer would
have to put one knee on the bench to work at that
point and remain standing on one foot, in an unsta
-
ble and uncomfortable position. For this reason it
was preferred to eliminate that space and use it to
make the seat more comfortable. In that point on
the bench, a storage space has been made for lines
coming from the cam cleats.
As previously mentioned the sport version, the one we
tested, does not include the aft seats for the helmsman.

during our trial. In the photo you can also see
the liferaft stored in the appropriate space,
from where it can be easily tossed overboard.
