periodical­ly. Twin helm seats allow for a guest to join the captain. The armrests for the center chair have controls for the chart plotters, autopilot and manual rudder control. ¶ An electric hardtop and separate skylight add to the open feeling, along with 6-foot6-inch headroom, side windows and double-wide glass doors aft. This space also has a convertibl­e portside sofa and a desk that makes for an office with a view. There is room for a TV and wine chiller in the cabinetry. ¶ Through the aft doors is a terrace with

142 square feet of real estate. Ringed with stainless-steel rails for safety, the terrace is sized for lounge chairs, a sofa and/or tables. To starboard are a fridge and barbecue. Owners can use this space as a private sun deck, or a spot to sip cocktails and watch the world go by. ¶ The accommodat­ions on the lower deck include an amidships master stateroom that spans the 18-foot-10-inch beam. With a king berth, the stateroom is flanked by MCY’s circular windows and has 6-foot-6-inch headroom. This owner opted for extra stowage, with dressers flanking the berth, as well as a walk-in closet with drawers and shelves. There’s also a washer and dryer. ¶ The two guest staterooms have twin berths and en suite heads. Forward is the VIP stateroom, with a centerline berth and a head. Crew quarters are aft with two cabins. ¶ The MCY 76 Skylounge is designed to Certificat­ion Category A, which means it’s seaworthy for voyages with winds over Force 8 (34 to 40 knots) and wave heights above 13 feet. Not that anyone wants to cruise in those conditions, but the yacht is built to deal with them. The Quick stabilizat­ion system, which includes fins and intercepto­rs, assists in creating a stable ride. Constructi­on is vacuum infusion to ensure resin saturation through the fiberglass, Kevlar and carbon-fiber layers, while saving weight and reducing emissions. ¶ The Monte Carlo Yacht 76 Skylounge takes a proven design and adds a high level of customizat­ion, all-weather cruising comfort and increased interior volume. It’s a recipe that should have broad appeal.
