Exterior Description

Let’s start at the front… Here we find a Quick horizontal electric windlass with a 20 kg Rocna anchor and 70 metres of galvanised 8mm chain. The oversized anchor and plenty of chain makes for a good nights sleep… Rocna sets really solid.

The headsail (Genoa) is fixed on a roller furling system. The furling line runs to the cockpit, which makes it easy to roll the sail in and out.

On the front deck there is a spinnaker halyard and a baby stay.

The mainsail rigging consists of 2 pairs of swept back spreaders and three shrouds on each side. Two reefing lines are single-line, the third one has to be tied down manually at the mast.

All other lines (spinnaker halyard, jib halyard, topping lift, kicker, outhaul and main halyard) also run to the cockpit which means that in theory you should very rarely have to go forward on deck to adjust the sails.

In the cockpit there are have two self-tailing winches (44) which are used mainly for the jib-sheets. A bit further back are 2 standard winches (40) which can be used for the spinnaker sheet etc.

The cockpit comes with ample seating space and a nice table that folds out. Under the seating area are large lockers which could be used for diving gear, the life-raft, petrol and diesel jerrycans, dinghy equipment etc. The steering wheel is rather large, but it can be taken off easily and stowed elsewhere in order to have more space to move around the cockpit.

On the steering wheel pedestal there is the Autohelm controller, a windmeter, a multifunction display with depth, engine information etc., a chart plotter and a compass.

The cockpit can be fully covered overhead thanks to a spray hood, the bimini and a sun-cover that can very easily be rolled out and in.

The arch that holds the bimini also contains 2 flexible 100 watt solar panels. On each side there is an additional fixed 100 watt solar panel that flips out for maximum sun.

Last but not least: the push-pit holds a Magma gas barbecue.

Interior Description

Inside there are 3 cabins: the forward master cabin (which is most suited as the primary bedroom) and two aft cabins. Together with the two settee berths in the saloon Goodvibes can theoretically sleep 8 people. That would be rather crowded though!

The heads (the bathroom) are accessible via a door in the saloon or a door in the master cabin.

The saloon feels very roomy. Both table ends can be folded down which gives more than enough space to walk up and down. With the ends put it place, the table turns into a very decent dining table of 120cm by 95 cm. Thanks to the 2m long settees you can accommodate quite a few guests indoors.

The hanging locker on starboard is set up for wet-gear and jackets. The port locker has been converted into a food storage cupboard and contains some shelves.

When entering below deck, the chart table is on the starboard side.

On the port side is the galley with a two burner gas stove with oven, a top loader fridge, a double sink and a saltwater tap (handy for rinsing off dishes in anchorages to save fresh water).
