The “Easy” version caters to owners and charters seeking simplicity and convenience. Its unobstructed roof and strategically positioned manoeuvres on the coamings provide a hassle-free experience.

The “Ocean” variant is designed for proprietors who prefer a conventional method of control, featuring halyard maneuvers and the mainsail traveler on the roof, along with sheet maneuvers on the coamings.

 

The “Performance” version is set to captivate competitive sailors. It comes equipped with a mainsheet point located at the cockpit’s base, six winches, and a hydraulic power station for backstays and boom vang.

This version boasts an upgraded mast and boom, resulting in a heightened sail area of 20 m2. The keel, measuring 2.80 meters, is augmented with a lead bulb. Lastly, the distinctive Performance features contribute to a distinctly racing-oriented aesthetic.
