Can't say enough great things about this boat! This was her maiden voyage so it was in pristine condition. The layout of the boat was fantastic with the salon having a sitting area without the cumbrance of a dining table and the galley had plenty of storage and counter space with a nice middle island. Our favorite boat in the past has always been the Leopard 50 with the walk thru which we thought we would miss, but not at all on this boat! The captain's quarters was amazing with tons of space and storage. It has a separate shower and toilet room with a sink between. The 5th bedroom was very small but worked out well for the chef.

The layout of the exterior of the boat was equally impressive as the interior. The aft was very spacious and with an ice maker on board it required no need for additional ice chests keeping the aft deck clear and clean. The helm had a separate area for the wheel and navigation to the winches and lines. We used two people when raising and lowering the sails, however, there is an option to use he auto pilot and have only one person at the helm. The upper deck seating also allows the captain from missing out on the fun.

This boat was everything we could ask for and are looking forward to spending time on it again very soon!
