One of her standout features is the well-designed deck layout, offering both superyacht-level functionality and the highest safety at sea. The signature split-cockpit configuration provides exceptional versatility:

Twin helm stations offer excellent visibility and control, while the sail plan, with in-mast furling mainsail, furling jib and staysail, ensures easy and safe handling even with a small crew. 
Aft, the sugar-scoop stern, recently repainted, provides a practical teak-covered platform with stainless-steel swim ladder, perfect for swimming or boarding the tender. Completing the exterior equipment is a 4.7-meter tender with 40 hp Yamaha outboard, ideal for coastal exploration or comfortable shore transfers.
