Mateus no 2003 , yep old styling tell you what though very well thought out for charter 3 equal cabins and great deck layout , some of these more funky trendy boats are useless for this and are often designed by people with no experience of living or working and having to deliver a good charter.
Its one thing making a trendy owners boat ,this is a different thing i see your profile and what you do , i have been on many boats and often thought have the designers or builders ever been to sea or do they just live a marina in Med and go out once a year . Also boat design needs to differ from intend cruising area boats for U.K , Med and Carib tend to need a very different spec sheet.
And for your info i am a qualified yacht designer and engineer .

PS I help design build from the barrel to the customer. Doing it now for 18 years.
No his name does not ring a bell, I was down that way for a while running a old racing ( early 70's )Maxi called Mistress Quickly , but when down in the Med i have not really been anywhere for long enough to get to now Many of the crews although X Carib crews who have gone that way.I suppose also the Med attitude is very different than the Carib , where there are less crews and more camaraderie and we go to other peoples boats at night on anchor instead of a bar , especially as the boat one's are always free!
