Do you remember what you did in the first warm week of April? I was travelling on the Greifswalder Bodden with the Sealine F430. The weather was so good that I was able to sail the Sealine comfortably from the flybridge without shivering.
Once again, you can see how beautiful the Baltic Sea can be (more on this in the July issue from page 74). With its Fly, the F430 is of course also ideal for the Mediterranean.
On the upper deck, the wet bar, seating area and convertible sun lounger provide plenty of outdoor enjoyment. One level below in the cockpit is another seating area under the flybridge deck. The special feature of this level is the interplay between the saloon, galley and cockpit. How do you do that? Simply open the large glass front between the saloon and cockpit and the communal area is ready.
A good solution: the integration of the fully equipped galley into both areas. It is positioned in a U-shape in the saloon and closes off from the cockpit with one side, which also serves the cockpit. There are deep storage compartments under the galley floor, which are ideal for storing crates of beer and water, for example.
There is a U-shaped seating area in the saloon, which can be easily extended with the driver's bench. To do this, raise the bench electrically at the touch of a button, release the lock and then turn the bench towards the passageway and lock it again. If you want to watch TV instead of just chatting or eating, the TV on the port side can be raised at the touch of a button.
You can read the full test of the Sealine F430 in the July issue of BOOTE, available in stores from 20 June 2018 - for Subscribers of course, sooner.
