Bertone styling puts the curves in this pert pocket cruiser from decidedly quirky but in-all-things-practical, Etap. Constructed with Etap’s double-hull design it is, like all its siblings, unsinkable. For a 28-foot boat, it comes with a comprehensive specification which also leaves room for optioning up, for example to the tandem keel which gives access to gunkholes without giving up traction to windward.
Below, the designers have fitted berths for six, which might be handy if your boatload includes kids. An option to close off the forepeak to use it for storage will reduce stress on the agoraphibic.
