As different as the test subjects sail, they are just as different on the inside. With or without main bulkhead, dinette or dog bunk. The test, part 2, in PDF download
Yes, there is even headroom on a boat. On the Neptun 22, the roof can be raised, resulting in a full 1.80 metres in the saloon. The berths fit best on the Friendship, the galley is a good solution on the Jaguar, the Varianta is in impressive original condition, and on the Dehlya and Etap the keel box has to be hidden as well as possible in the interior.
The ships are different and yet similar: all want to score points with more or less sophisticated solutions in detail. This is exciting and fun to discover.
The strengths and weaknesses of the individual boats, what to look out for when buying and which details make the boats unique can be found in the second part of the large comparison test of small cruisers - in YACHT 21/2018, available in the DK shop, or you can download the test directly via the link below.
