Handcrafted mahogany is used in the paneling forward of the five double-curved glass panels that comprise the windscreen. The interior includes a galley, shower and living space that converts to a double berth. Let’s talk power: It’s a pair of 400 hp Volvo Penta D6 400 engines, providing a reported cruising speed of 31 knots and a top speed of 40 knots.”
