Downstairs in the front there is another staircase that leads to two other bedrooms, a bathroom and a storage-room. Beside the kitchen there is a staircase that leads up to the flybridge, with a sitting-group and steering position. Doors and stairs in this boat is normal sized, as you find it in houses.

The first owner then worked with the interior for many, many years, untill we bought it in 2013. We have lived in the boat since 2013. We will move out of it 1 of July 2017, and can be viewed and tested after this date. We can arrange delivery all ower the world.SPECIAL THINGS ABOUT THE BOATI mention a few things about the boat we find special, that could be of interest to new owners.- Inside the boat it is very silent when it is docked. You have the heater that runs a few times each hour when it is cold (it is overdimentioned to run as seldom as possible), and you have the water-pump that runs when you use water. That is the only sounds you hear. - The twin installation of hydraulic thrusters, makes it very easy to maneuver. Many thrusters runs on batteries, and you have to save power, but these hydraluc thrusters takes energy from the main engine, and you can run them for hours if you like. To master this boat has a very short learning curve. We had no prior experience with big boats before this one.- it is very warm and dry to live in, the whole year around, with a very economical heater.- The engine-room is spacious, the whole widthof the boat. In the rest of the boat everything technical is hidden, but in the engine-room it is the oposite, everything is open and easy accessible. It is very much space for other installations and have big space for storage. FUEL CONSUMPTION AND SPEEDWhen we travel we run on low RPM, between 1100 and 1400 RPM - we are home all the time, so there is no rush. The speed depends very much on wind and currents, but is usually somewhere between 5 and 8 knots. The fuel-consumtion on our low cruising speed is between 1 and 2 litres per nautical mile.DECKS AND WALKWAYSIt is not walkways on the sides of the boat. This has its pros and cons. The most obvios benefit is that it is much more space inside, and we would not have considder this boat as a home without this space inside. Another benefit is that you more clearly seperate between zones outdoors on deck, that chan be usueful if you have kids living with you. The flybridge is enormous, and very much higher than is usuall for boats of this lenght, usually 1-2 meter above others, and it feels very private up there.
