Outside Areas
Enter the teak covered aft deck from the dock via the hydraulic passarelle. On this deck you will find a folding teak table with seating for up to 4, access to the port and starboard teak covered side decks, a ladder to the flybridge and access to the saloon through 2 sliding teak doors. This deck is well sheltered by the flybridge overhang. Both the side decks are covered and have boarding gates for use during alongside berthing. The port side deck features a shower with fresh hot and cold water and both side decks have deck outlets for the fuel, water and black water tanks. The port side deck has an access door to the wheelhouse and the starboard side deck has access doors to both the wheelhouse and the saloon. The side decks lead to the bow deck where you will find the anchor windlass, fender storage racks and a bench seat for 4 with storage underneath for mooring lines. There is an opening deck hatch which provides ventilation to the cabin below.
Flybridge
The flybridge can be accessed by a stairway from the wheelhouse or by a ladder from the aft deck. There are 2 zones on the flybridge.
Forward zone
This area contains a steering position which duplicates all of the major navigation controls, a bench seat for 2 and comfortable seating for 8 people around a large table. There is storage under all of the seats and under the steering position. The deck is teak. There is also a built-in stainless steel, gas BBQ. This part of the flybridge is sheltered by a hardtop which was custom made in Italy in 2008. The hardtop is made of carbon fibre to ensure high strength and low weight and has integrated LED lighting built into it. On top of the hardtop, and out of sight, are 4 new Trina Solar 420 watt monocrystaline solar panels. These panels are powerful enough to supply the boat's energy requirements during the daytime and recharge the batteries. A mast supports the radar and other navigation instruments.
Aft zone
Immediately behind the forward zone is a large open deck which spans the full width of the boat. Here there is room for sunbathing or other social activities. At the rear of this area is the storage for the Avon 3.45m tender with Yamaha 30hp engine. A Besenzoni crane (new 2008) is used for launching the tender. An Arimar life raft is also stored in this area. This deck was resprayed with non slip paint in October 2013.
