I looked these up because I'm not familiar with them, and I must admit that I see a lot of cool boats on their site.

But of particular interest, for something quite different but perhaps very, very, practical (in the bigger size range) was this:

That really might appeal to someone envious of catamaran style salon and galley up designs, but still ultimately wanting a monohull. I think it looks pretty great actually for such a big deck salon, and the view out of there looks pretty fantastic to me either in high latitudes or in the tropics.

I didn't study the whole boat, and the interior photos look a bit meh, but I give the 'pilothouse on steroids' a big concept wise as the lines look pretty good overall.

Looks like an @Dockhead type of boat to me.







Apologies for the thread jack, but it does still have two masts...
