The result is a yacht that is easy to sail, even with a family crew, perfect for enjoying long cruises and everything a cruising sailboat has to offer.The deckhouse design characterizes the boat and strongly represents the shipyard's signature. The distinctive porthole design is further emphasized by the presence of different levels that add movement to the overall profile. The grille on the coaming adds a touch of exclusivity by cleverly concealing additional portholes. The deckhouse is designed to allow the storage of the sprayhood (dodger) and all mooring lines, which run recessed up to the winches. The central area of the deckhouse is perfect for sunbathing; the jib tracks are located on each side, with adjustments led back to the cockpit for optimal sheeting angles. The numerous hatches are all flush with the deck. The anchoring system includes a windlass for an anchor housed on a stainless steel bow roller. The slightly raked bow facilitates anchoring operations. A bowsprit can be provided, as well as a pivoting system that hides the entire anchor arm. The through-deck furler and folding mooring cleats emphasize the overall clean aesthetic.Various layouts are available, some featuring a large aft owner's cabin. The different layouts range from two to four cabins, including options with a forward crew cabin equipped with a sink and toilet. The style, sleek and linear, is based on surfaces covered with natural wood, alternating with white lacquered sections, ensuring optimal brightness while maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Detail elements include the use of polished stainless steel. Numerous handrails and well-proportioned spaces between furniture, combined with the total absence of sharp edges, allow safe movement even while sailing at high angles of heel. The shipyard allows for customization of furniture, materials, finishes, and layouts.Sailing Stream, exclusive importer for ITALIA YACHTS in France.
