The 575’s cockpit is, I think, one of smartest pieces of design I’ve seen on a boat of this size. Her enormous, 5.20m beam is carried well aft, and the cockpit makes good use of it. There are two cockpit tables, side-by-side, which enable a logical walkway down the centre, between the helms, to a large fold-down transom. While this arrangement makes for seriously spacious bench settees around the tables, the area can also be transformed into a vast, sunbed/lounger. The tables are mounted on electrically controlled hydraulic pedestals; a flick of a switch on the helmstation lowers them to bench level. An insert and additional squabs complete the transition. Very cool – and another reason for those electric winches. Why have a sweaty grinder on the primary winch spoiling the view? Clambering aboard over the 575’s side decks is not going to look particularly elegant.
