What distinguishes the model

  • The first 51 delivered covered 290 nm in 24 hours on its delivery trip, with jib and three reefs – a sign of brisk sailing.
  • The technical and engine compartment with standing headroom makes systems, wiring and lines easily accessible – ideal for maintenance far from boatyards.
  • The cockloon concept places saloon and cockpit on one level and creates a great deal of space on board.
