Good use of space is essential in compact cats. Yachts offer probably the most efficient use of space. Vast experience in designing charter catamarans – where you get 6 double en-suite cabins in less than half the size of a tennis court – allows extreme efficiency without compromising the feeling of roominess.
- The galley counter converts to a dining table by sliding it inboard. In the centre position it hides the sink and cooker.
- The queen-size berth is also a comfy couch for watching the scenery slide by
- The loose seating converts to single upright chairs, a couch and an occasional extra berth
- The shower unit is behind a door that, when opened, expands the cubicle into a full size, private shower. Steam escapes outside and the drain goes straight into a holding tank. Using this to wash off with fresh water after a swim, the waste water can run overboard.
- The heads do not open into the cabin, keeping all smells outside. If you’re away from people you can enjoy a ‘loo with a view’
- The 12V fridge is top-opening and slides out from under the cooker. A deep cool box in the hull adds extra capacity.
- The tillers lift up when not in use allowing the entire aft deck to be enclosed. When manoeuvring under engines alone they drop-down to lock the rudders
- The large, flat windscreen in front opens to give proper ventilation in mild weather
- Access to the sea is down one transom. Garbage stowage is in the other. Folding bikes and other toys go forward
- Suitcases and large items go under the berth. A hanging locker and shelves takes the rest of your stuff.
- Tablet / phone / camera / drone charging in a dedicated station at the inside helm
