Simply Red
Simply Red is a comfortable, well built and well equipped boat. Her owner's focus was on family cruising and her layout and large galley emphasise this requirement. Her bilges and cockpit lockers were all faired and sprayed in high gloss finish. Sound insulation was not only used extensively throughout the boat, in the engine room and in the saloon sole but also under the lazarette, on tanks and inside hollow engine girders in the form of special sound deadening paint.
