Interior
With anything from two to five sleeping cabins, the interior really is owner specification and purpose, whatever the plan, the detailing is to the finest of Dutch modern traditions. Particular attention is paid to noise and vibration control with extensive insulation and insulation techniques applied. Detailing includes custom fashioned fixings and fittings to the finished interior, and access to service points is assured be it pipe runs or deck fittings, machinery or the extensive electrics in the dedicated, vented technical room.

The 72CS shares the signature central cockpit for ease of short-handed sail control and operation. There is a large garage with tender and to release even more storage space there is opportunity, too, for a tender well on the foredeck that further doubles as water filled tub or tabled leisure cockpit for foredeck drinks and dining. Sail control's finger-tip automated and the helm is a delight with good feedback.
