Clean lines, protection from the elements, high seating position for better visibility - nice setup. Maneuvering boats like this is hard because of the lack of visibility - you need to have good communication among the crew so they can be your eyes and ears and hands. But a good helm configuration doesn't hurt that either.
The interior of all these boats are customizable - as they should be when you are paying tons of cash. The warmth of this boat is apparent everywhere you look. Makes me want to sell off all our furniture now...
We spent more time looking at the boats we are most interested in. I took pictures of all the nooks and crannies - the attention to detail on the Antares was impressive. Here are some of the exterior pictures I took.
This one is clearly La's favorite (and I really like it as well). Strong boat that is built in Argentina and looks the part of a circumnavigator. This company also builds roughly four boats a year. As we make our career transition and start saving for one of these liveaboards, this will likely be one of the top three contenders.
