I would say that its weakness is that the flybridge is pretty small. It’s like the so called sport bridge boats eg Princess S65 but on a smaller scale which makes the end result a bit compromised. But it looks good and the accommodation is excellent.

They do a full fly version. But this is the one I’d have in the uk. I hate putting the flybridge cover on and this is push button.

What’s shame. The dealers now would show you they are most obliging. Give them another chance.

Are ladies still allowed to man velvet ropes?

I looked over one at the Cannes boat show a couple of years ago. I was not impressed by the quality standards. Way down on the British and Italian offerings.

I don’t know how many years ago that was but it is absolutely not the case now. I’ve looked at a few in detail up to about 8 years old and the quality is top of the tree IMO.
