To sailors still gathering momentum in the sport, the only thing that ever makes a boat too big is its price.

And to those lucky enough to have once enjoyed large yachts, what makes a boat seem small is an unfortunately squeezed interior.

John Deknatel and the designers at C. Raymond Hunt Associates created a remarkable solution—a modestly priced 28-footer that gives up nothing in roominess and style.

Its layout is classically symmetrical — uncompromised by cutouts, footwells, zig-zags or deck lumps.

Its looks and performance are those of a proper yacht.
