- Best for:
- This vessel suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, performance-oriented bluewater passage maker, particularly owners who prioritize modern amenities and self-sufficiency.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 18874.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 2.12, and a fin keel, the boat offers a stable platform for offshore passages, a capability reinforced by the high frequency of watermaker installations (26 mentions) in the owner reports.
- Comparables:
- It competes with other large, fractional-rigged performance cruisers from the late 2010s, such as the Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 or the Dufour 460, sharing similar fractional sloop rigs and focus on interior volume.
