On the deck

Deck revue

The  Cockpit is designed for the off-shore cruise rather than for the drinks in marinas, while even in this case 6 persons can be seated comfortabily.
Under the wind screen the most used instruments are on the range of a glance
It's not necessary do go down the cabin to inspect the radar  the display being on the coatchroof, well protected  and yet easy to disconnect and take away, when the yacht is unatended.
The  compas  is on starboard, far enough from the electronic instruments. On port side the loch-speedo together with the exterior depthsounder  (a separate sounder is fitted inside, on the chart table), is installed besides the wind system, as well as an additionnal GPS slave display to remind the navigation partameters.
