yes, these are windows... it's a new trend which i do not like. it's "cool", stylish, but once you get fenders rubbing on them, i'd like to know how they're goign to hold up. and if they ever leak, good luck... i hope you dont' have to tear up the interior to fix a leak.
no access to the sidedecks is an issue although you can go on the swim platform and climb from there. I think it's better to have access from the swimplatform than from inside so that if you have all the canvas up, you can still get to the bow. both woudl be best obviously but then you'd have to climb on the seats...
the biggest flaw in my opinion is once again the foredeck... yep.. here he goes again, starting a rant...
so this boat has decent sidedecks to go to the bow but once you get there you have nowhere to stand... at the second stanchion, the decks narrows to nothing and you have to step up on the sloped cabin top. And of course, no recess at the bow, no toe rail, nothing. it's downhill to the edge.
but course, we know windlasses never jam and you will never have to go to the bow.
no ventilation ! yeah i know... people always run the aircon, aircon pumps never fails, and generators always work... but with only ONE hatch in the entire boat, if you ever loose AC... you cant' use that boat. again, portholes aren't as cool and sexy as those swoopy windows but at least they provide ventilation. that boat needs a hatch on each side of the pad, near the windshield.
I agree about the carpet, if you want to play "yacht" builder, teak and holly please...
otherwise it's not a bad looking boat, yeah the color isn't great, i dont' care for dark hulls (too hot and too much mainteance) but it's a pretty traditional, no nonsense design.
