Access below can be either from the cockpit to the owner’s cabin aft or through the coachroof hatch directly into the saloon. The beams, deck head, bulkheads and furniture are ofvarnished mahogany, the cabin sole of varnished holly and teak, overall combiningelegance, ambience, and warmth with practicality. The elegant mottled coral upholsteryitems, renewed a year ago are also protected by removable green covers. From the cockpit via a sliding hatch and steps down you enter in the owner’s cabin with asingle berth each side and an en suite head compartment with folding basin, Blake WCand shower forward to starboard. A hanging locker is forward to port and stowage is indrawers below and spaces outboard the berths. Two opening ports provide goodventilation.
Moving forward past the main head (also with Blake WC and accessible to both cabins)you access the main cabin with a chart table and navigation area to port and a large galleystarboard. The galley has a double sink, 2 burner hob with oven and a huge and very wellinsulated stainless steel fridge. Access to this area can also be through the main slidinghatch over the coach roof and companionway steps down.
Forward and a further step down is the saloon with settee berths either side and another
single berth above and outboard to port. To starboard are two lockers with a book shelf
between. Amidships is a mahogany drop leaf dining table.
The forepeak had two lifting pipe cot berths with stowage below and outboard. The
starboard pipe cot, while available has been removed and lockers and drawers built in.
The foc’sle contains the very substantial chain locker. Ventilation is by hatches and
opening ports by the galley, chart table and heads.

– 100 litre fridge (engine driven compressor)
– Mattresses and blankets; two for each berth

“La storia di quest’imbarcazione, su progetto Sparkman & Stephens, sarà sempre legata a quella dell’imprenditore milanese dell’acciaio Giorgio Falck, appassionato velista scomparso nel 2004, che ne commissionò la costruzione.
La barca ha partecipato alla prima Whitbread del 1973, il giro del mondo in regata, classificandosi al quinto posto di flotta e prima delle italiane.
Poi, affidata allo skipper Luciano Ladavas, ha compiuto un altro giro del mondo durato cinque anni.
Un successivo proprietario l’ha tenuta fino al 1999, momento in cui è stata acquistata da uno spagnolo.
Guia, gemella di Mabelle, è costruita in fasciame di mogano sovrapposto su ordinate di quercia bianca.” ( NR)
