Today the 400 is no longer in production and a 430 is proposed as, I guess, the real deal in terms of 'blue water boat'.

The new lounge seats appear only good for napping at anchor, the seat backs look like a trip hazard. For the helm, why not move the traveler aft to the transom and put a tiller as far aft as possible. I do not really understand why RM puts the tiller so far forward on the tiller models it clogs the Apingautnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994070224761667321.post-22961983650401688162024-01-05T17:11:00.482+00:002024-01-05T17:11:00.482+00:00Hallo Paulo,
