Entry gates on both port and starboard sides offer easy access to the deck. A bow ladder and additional bow roller facilitate anchoring and boarding.
Deck fittings include Lewmar self-tailing winches, with electric winches (Lewmar 40 CEST) for the outhaul and mainsheet and electric genoa winches (Lewmar 50 CEST) for easier sail handling. An integrated bathing platform and a fresh water shower on the transom enhance comfort at sea.
