A 9.23 meter day boat with something extra. A boat that is a bridge between a day boat and a small but comfortable cruiser.
The high freeboard ensures comfortable, functional, well-designed interiors, expertly masked by a dark band on the side which includes a window that gives light and visual space to the interiors. The latter, elegant and sober, are full of clever and practical devices, see the habitability of the bathroom and kitchen, but also the dimensions of the cabinets and wardrobes that you cannot imagine being able to find on a vehicle of this size. The bunk under the cockpit, generally very sacrificed, is also well usable.
Only note: a few too many corners in "strategic" points, but it is a venial sin. The large walled windows allow you to live the sailing experience with a different view, flooding the interior with light and guaranteeing a priceless view of the sea. A striking detail: the slits on the platform in correspondence of the ascent ladder that facilitate the return on board without hindering or disturbing from the aesthetic point of view.
