Designed for blue water cruising and long distance cruising, the 50's facilities have only two or three cabins to choose from and give pride of place to comfort for family cruising. Two double cabins with king size beds placed in an island, one forward and one aft very spacious for the owner. A third cabin with bunk beds completes the sleeping accommodation for six people. The galley is now fitted out in the corridor leading to the aft cabin. Well-lit by a large hull porthole, you don't feel trapped in it and its length allows several people to get together. Its equipment is complete and you will never be caught out when preparing meals. The transparent plexiglass bottom makes it easy to find food.
Woodwork that sings
The old models used dark sapele mahogany for the woodwork, which was a bit sad, I must admit. The light oak or walnut finishes are enhanced by cream Ultraleather veneer panels that provide a luxurious and chic ambience. The mix with stainless steel and anthracite synthetic leather panels reinforces the contrasts and the piping of the benches perfect a decor that gives a serious touch of youth while remaining classic.
A large roof cap
Deprived of its mizzen mast, the cockpit is spacious enough to house not only the wheelhouse, but also a table with a beautiful U-shaped bench seat for outdoor dining and relaxation. The roof cap covers the entire cockpit and a sliding panel allows this space to be opened when the weather is fine. The access to the water has been reworked with a tilting transom that creates a large bathing area. The deck layout is organised to accommodate lounging areas with thick sunbathing mattresses. The habitability/comfort of the accommodation speaks for itself. Only the chart table is a little too small.
