Norwegian boat. Cruiser-racer. Successful design similar to the popular and well-known Ohlson 38 and Hallberg-Rassy Mistral 33. Built for the ocean. Several of them sailed across the Atlantic and to Spitsbergen.
Smooth running through the water, elegant lines. Can go upwind fast. Comfortable to sail alone or with a small crew. Reinforced stanchions (thicker than similar sized boats). Highly manoeuvrable under sail and power. Can be driven backwards with good handling, which is very important when moored. Thruster control.
Spacious, deep and secure cockpit. Enough room to stretch out comfortably when lying full height (very important for long passages).
Well thought-out interior, 5 beds + 2 "coffins". Red wood. Storage space everywhere, lockers. 220V + 12V wiring throughout. Toilet (fresh Jabsco) + cold shower. Sink has two types of water supply: from tank and outside. LED lights everywhere. Engine compartment ventilation via dorado box. Straight shaft. Webasto air duct (no heater). Fuel tank cleaned, capacity 40 litres.
Steering wheel on skeg. Wedge is screwed lead. Strong fixing point.
Mast is on deck, with support underneath.
