And now for something completely different. The latest luxury cruiser in the French company’s Yacht line is a revolutionary approach to cockpit and interior layouts, taking inspiration from multihulls use of space and light. Locating the twin helm stations forward in the cockpit under a sheltered hard top frees up the transom area to create a flexible lounge area. The area beneath the hard top creates essentially an on-deck saloon. The main saloon below deck features a galley and dining area. Two of the cabins have separate entrances from the deck. www.jeanneau.com
