Best for

  • Experienced owners seeking large-volume long-distance cruising
  • Families needing three cabins and substantial tankage
  • Buyers with yacht-scale dockage and service access

Trade-offs

  • 16-foot-plus beam and 21-foot air draft impose major infrastructure limits
  • Large twin-diesel systems carry high operating and maintenance costs
  • Older examples now require age-sensitive inspection of complex domestic systems

Known concerns

  • No model-specific concern has been promoted to B-Atlas’s evidence threshold. This does not mean the model has no age-, condition- or hull-specific risks.

Inspection focus

  • Inspect twin engines, shafts, fuel and exhaust systems
  • Inspect flybridge and deckhouse for weather exposure and leaks
  • Review generator, chargers, batteries and AC/DC distribution
  • Inspect tanks, sanitation and domestic water systems
  • Verify bridge clearance with antennas and electronics
