The table can be raised or lowered, or be covered by a special, larger dining table top for a full formal dinner. Adding to the spaciousness, head room exceeds 8 feet.

Remarks
"Whistler" is a luxurious Owner's version with the one hull completely reserved for the owner with a large master cabin and en-suite shower. Ample headroom throughout the boat, over 6 feet in the salon.
On deck, the very well thought out cockpit is very accommodating and ample seating for 8 around the large cockpit table. The overhanging aft end of the flybridge affords protection from the harsh rays of Summer Sun and also on those rainy days.
Aircon, Watermaker, Genset, Chartplotter, Radar, Autopilot - the list is endless!
