water so clear you can easily see the new trim tab anodes. !

aft opening window, with red /green buttons just visible left by aircon grill, these lift and drop the full radar arch together with scanner and dome, which makes low bridge work easy.
Middle window opens outward, smart "keyhole" shape on entry to lower saloon, is beautiful and is typical of the asthetics of these "smooth and rounded " Elling designs. But Elling do get the "Form over Function" mix exactly right in My view.
