While the Flybridge had one full-width lounge area forward, the Coupe still offers much the same space but has split the settee layout into two areas, one opposite the galley and the other opposing the helm. The galley layout includes a Corian surfaced plating island with storage drawers below, a household size fridge/freezer/ice-maker combo, deep pull out storage, white Franke sink units and F&P curved range hood. Add to that a four-burner hob, microwave oven and dish drawer and you have everything you need. This is a boat that you are unquestionably going to spend a lot of time aboard entertaining, hence the 42” pop-up television and Bose stereo system. I liked the fact the television can be swivelled and positioned so it can be viewed just about from anywhere. It’s one step up to the forward saloon, complete with a U-shape settee and fixed dining table to port and the helm opposite, with twin Besenzoni helm seats. The dash is a mix of stitched leather, fabric and carbon fibre inlays that encompass all the electronics and navigational equipment. The electronics and equipment packages are owner's choice, with the Coupe fitted with a pair of Raymarine E 120 Hybrid touch screens surrounded by all the necessary instrumentation, controls and navigational displays. Standard in the stock boat package is a Yacht Controller complete with remote, plus fore and aft Vetus thrusters, and Twin Disc Quick Shift gearboxes. Again, being a semicustom boat, just how you style and equip the dash layout is up to you. I have to say I loved the Yacht Controller, which makes manoeuvering the big Whitehaven an effortless task. With a simple movement of the hand, the Yacht Controller Joystick JCS allows simultaneous operation of the engines and of the bow and stern thrusters, enabling you to manoeuver and move the boat in any direction securely, precisely, and simply, with total ease. Full Beam Master If there is one area that has not changed it is the accommodation spaces forward, with an identical three-cabin, two-bathroom design in all three 6000 models. Customisation will allow you to change all that, such as opting for the two-cabin layout, with the third being converted to a utility room for additional storage. The master stateroom exemplifies the versatile use of available space, with a king-size island berth, flush mount 40” television, extra-large cedar-lined wardrobe, lounge and full-length bureau with lift-up case and mirror. There is extra storage in bedside drawer units, under the bed and hanging lockers. Large signature side windows with open ports while providing natural light and ventilation, also give a panoramic view. BOATING pindaramagazine.com.au Pindara Magazine 95
