In doing so, the shipyard and designer Briand drew on an old idea that had already been implemented in Dufour's Atoll concept: the saloon and galley were moved on deck to maximise the number of berths. Plus a huge cockpit - all rooted in the idea that in typical warm charter areas, life takes place on deck anyway. The spatial concept is therefore similar to that of a catamaran, giving rise to the term monomaran.
On the Sun Loft 47, no fewer than six cabins and four heads have been realised. This lowers the per-head charter price, which is already favourable due to the lower purchase and operating costs of the boat compared to a catamaran.
Is the new Sun Loft 47 the ideal charter boat for the intended purpose? YACHT has tested the boat. You can read the report in issue 15, can be ordered directly from the publisher, or you can download the test directly via the link below.
