First of all, let’s specify that this is the only helm station... The 43 PC is thus a boat rather suited to use in areas with a tropical climate or in the Mediterranean during the summer season, especially if night passages is envisaged. But despite the family resemblance with the Leopard 40 above the surface of the...
