Designed by Carl Schumacker to Phil Lambert’s exacting design criteria: “I was convinced we could develop a boat with the capacity required for serious cruising, with sufficient comfort to encourage living aboard, and with the added safety that comes with performance and handling,” he said. “But too often, that quest for performance led me to vessels that were too exotic, expensive, and uncomfortable. I wanted a solid-glass hull-heavy, yes, but safe, and well suited for hard offshore work. I felt we could still achieve high performance through sophisticated shape, a powerful rig, and by keeping the weight well away from the ends.”

The aft cockpit is large and comfortable in a seaway providing a wonderful platform for enjoying the ocean passage as well as the company of good friends in anchorages around the world.
She has a Monitor windvane self-steerer which is mounted on a custom swinging gate system which allows easy on and off access via the swim platform when not in use.
Wide decks and mast pulpitPrimaries controlled by helmsmanLines led aft – all can reach the powered winchMonitor windvane in storage position
The large primary winches are in easy reach of the helmsman while two cabin-top winches (one electric) manage the aft-led lines.
The full enclosure, and sun shades, ensure a comfortable environment no matter what the weather and the wraparound pushpit provides excellent security.
In addition to access to the ‘garage’, there are three lockers in the cockpit: a capacious lazarette to starboard, propane locker to port and a transom locker, ideal for a 6 person liferaft.
Wide side decks, effective non-skid, high lifelines and mast pulpits provide security when moving forward and working at the mast or deploying the carbon fiber spinnaker pole.
Forward is a large watertight sail locker where light air sails and ground tackle is stowed.
Above the cockpit bimini, on an elegant stainless frame is a 680W solar array, which combined with the wind generator is sufficient to charge batteries, heat water and power the induction hob.
Below Deck– (click on any photos to enlarge) –
Three broad steps provide easy access to the light and airy belowdecks. Toodle-oo! is beautifully finished in warm cherry wood and has a traditional teak and holly sole.
The well ventilated U-shaped galley is very practical and has ample storage for the most demanding chef. Cooking can utilize both the Force 10 propane stove or the 230V induction hob. The galley is open to the main salon so that the chef can enjoy the company of invited guests while preparing the feast.
The functional salon provides easy access to seating around the port-side table as well as allowing enormous storage capacity both behind and beneath each seat. The starboard settee also has a bar cabinet and a functioning small table for when larger parties are entertained. One large and two small forward facing hatches provide excellent ventilation.
The salon floor is slightly raised giving excellent visibility to the outside world and providing space for the four diesel tanks and two water tanks below the waterline, contributing to the overall stability of the yacht.
Forward, the light and airy master berth has a queen-sized island berth with good access on both sides of the bed, which has enormous storage capacity below and stowage cupboards on both sides via sliding doors. The berth is provided with two large hanging lockers, two cupboards, seven large deep drawers and a vanity. A hatch, six opening ports and two dorade vents provide excellent ventilation.
The head with separate shower stall is located opposite the galley.
The aft cabin provides a spacious queen-sized berth with storage below and to the sides, with a hanging locker and cupboard storage. The berth has a hatch and three opening ports providing excellent ventilation.
Aft of the galley is the navigation area with up-to-date electronics and a large chart table for route planning. This area provides an excellent place for monitoring all systems and navigation while underway.
Behind the navigation station is the ‘garage’ where many boat systems are maintained – including generator, watermaker, large chest freezer and stowage for tools and spares. With the port-side cockpit seat open, headroom in the garage is unlimited!
The engine is under the companionway steps…with access from three sides…
