Canopy

AMAZING! And very effective too... The owner, who has a sailing background and a wealth of round-the-world experience, fitted TOBABOO with 4 small sails that act as stabilizers. In a crosswind, they support the boat and reduce roll. In a good breeze (force 5), they contribute effectively to propulsion and ensure maximum autonomy.

Rear deck

The aft deck is a veritable summer lounge, sheltered from the sun and wind. The extendable teak table allows 6/8 people to dine comfortably in a cool environment. Side doors close off access to the gangways, providing perfect shelter for the aft deck at anchor and at sea.

Wheelhouse

A bright, well-ventilated room with a panoramic view, the wheelhouse is the link between the exterior and the saloon, and is the place to be when sailing, with a large chart table, a bench seat that can be converted into a quarter berth, covered and removable in a special boat fabric (sunbrella) with sky and white stripes. There is plenty of storage space under the bench seat and under the table. The helm station is equipped with electronics and a gyroscopic porthole.

Salon

The saloon is the boat's living room, with a mottled ivory wool carpet floor at deck level, giving a 360° sea view. The sofas are upholstered in the same tone-on-tone ecru striped fabric as the curtains. Underneath the TV/video/library area is the ice-maker.

Kitchen area

The saloon kitchen, covered in old-fashioned ivory wood panelling, features a U-shaped bench seating 4 to 6 people, which can be converted into an extra berth simply by removing the backrests. Under the seats is a large fridge/freezer and plenty of storage space. The beige travertine worktop features a stoneware sink and a 4-burner electric hob with stainless-steel pot-and-pan guides. A multifunction oven, fridge and storage space are located underneath.

Cabins

There are 3 double cabins in all:

  • The full-beam owner's cabin at the stern of the boat is lighted and ventilated by 5 opening portholes. A large bookcase covers the entire aft wall, the double bed is on the port side and conceals a large trunk, the desk opens and the bench in the lounge area is upholstered in the same fabric as the lounge, a large closet and numerous fittings complete this very pleasant cabin.
  • The side cabin is equipped with 2 bunk berths, a sink and a closet. Very bright and airy, with 2 opening portholes.
  • The forward cabin has two bunks that can be reunited with a toilet, two closets...
