BUYING ADVICE #6
The sense of premium quality is a combination of factors...
From design, construction, materials and fit-out, through to frequently-overlooked elements such as ergonomics, light and space and accessibility to onboard systems.
ERGONOMICS
Ergonomics (the study of how people interact with their environment), is important in boat design as it can greatly impact the comfort, safety, and functionality of a boat.
A well-designed boat will take into account the needs and movements of the crew and passengers, and will minimise the risk of strain or injury. This can include things like proper seating, headspace, positioning of controls, and easy access to equipment.
Good ergonomic design improves the efficiency and ease of use of a boat, which will make it more enjoyable to operate.
The consideration of safe, ergonomic design plays a major role in the design of Back Cove and Sabre motor yachts, with the sole focus of enhancing the entire boating experience for owners and guests.
From full 360° visibility from the helm of any Back Cove or Sabre motor yacht, wide walkaround decks, and safe handholds everywhere within easy reach, right through to the positioning of passenger seating and accommodations for comfort, every tiny detail of a Sabre and Back Cove has been carefully considered.
LIGHT AND SPACE
One of the enjoyments of boating is being in tune with nature and taking-in the surroundings – whether that’s cruising the open ocean, navigating coastal islands and bays or entertaining family and friends in a quiet anchorage.
Wherever you go boating, one thing is certain: no-one wants to be bunkered down in a dingy-feeling boat with minimal natural light! Be mindful of this with any boat you are considering – natural light is important!
Back Cove and Sabre motor yachts are designed around maximising the environment, with large windows that allow plenty of natural light and create a feeling of space.
ACCESS TO SYSTEMS
Access to systems and engineering for maintenance is another overlooked consideration when researching a new boat purchase. It’s essential to have easy access to inspect, repair, and maintain the various mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fuel systems necessary for the safe and reliable operation of any vessel.
Without good access to these systems it can be difficult and very time consuming to perform necessary maintenance, which can lead to costly repairs or even safety hazards.
Good access to systems also makes it easier to perform upgrades or customisations to the boat, such as installing new marine electronics, which can improve a boat’s usability and enhance the overall boating experience.
