There are five full length berths. The popular dinette table arrangement convertible to a double berth enables crew to pass right through the saloon even when the rest of the family are eating or sitting. A traditional layout with a berth either side is available to those who prefer it. We consider that three adults or two adults and two children could spend protracted periods aboard in reasonable comfort, but four adults or three adults and two children may well prove too many for comfort. In the purely weekend sailing role, the large cockpit will prove an attraction and it would certainly appear that her performance will prove high enough to appeal to those who are primarily interested in racing whether around the buoys or offshore. The general standard of finish is good for a production boat and such criticisms as have been made of the detailed arrangements must be seen against the fact that the boat tested was virtually a prototype and improvements will no doubt be made in the light of experience. All in all, therefore, it would appear that the new boat has much to offer.
