Test / Emili 5.90, a simple but sufficient deck layout

Second part of our test of the Emili 5.90. Focus on the layout. As standard, the Emili 5.90 is simply fitted out, and can accommodate up to 6 people on board, divided between the front and rear cockpits. Some options allow to improve the comfort on board.

Easy on-board access

The Emili 5.90 is an open hull measuring 5.95 m long and 2.40 m wide. The molded bathing platform offers two small skirts, with a bathing ladder to port and a storage locker to starboard. Access to the boat is either from the stern or by stepping over the bulwark, with a height of 64 cm at the center of the boat. The boarding is also planned on the bow, as it is often done in northern European countries.

Numerous storage compartments

The deck plan is simple with a large storage locker at the rear, which, when covered with an optional cushion, becomes a bench seat for 3 people. It is also possible to sit directly on the polyester trunk, but this is less comfortable. The rear balcony can easily be transformed into a backrest by installing a removable cushion. A cockpit locker offers additional storage space.

A central console to control protected

The center console is equipped with a high windshield that protects the driver when navigating, and is equipped with handrails to hold on to. Be careful though, when standing up while driving, the head is quite close to the pillars. A bad wave could quickly create a shock. The dashboard is not huge, but sufficient to accommodate the onboard electronics. There is a pocket on the console and an optional storage on the bottom. The standard steering is mechanical, but the Sport option includes hydraulic steering.

Optional seat cushions

The pilot seat is a box seat, with a tilting backrest, on which a tubular foam backrest is fixed for more comfort. You can also opt for two bucket seats. Moving around on board is easy, thanks to the 37 cm wide gangway.

Optional storage for fenders integrated in the bulwarks

The front deck offers two side seats with optional cushions, which can be transformed into a sunbathing area. The surface area thus created is 1.75 m x 1.47 m wide. On the front, there is a storage locker and an anchor locker. Storage for the fenders can be integrated into the bulwarks, up to four in number.
