The large cockpit with outside dining area is protected by a functional fiberglass hard-top fitted by the current owner, it also provides a stable platform for access to the mast and boom. A stack pack system, double purchase halyards, mast track and slide system make handling the fully battened mainsail surprisingly easy.
