As with some sailing catamarans such as the Lagoon or the Nautitech Open 46, the Makai M45 is using the idea of two available deck plans, giving either a Sedan or a Flybridge version. The former is more elegant, and also means less windage. The latter obviously offers additional space for relaxation - there is already 345 square feet (32 m²) of usable deck space with the cockpit and the rigid foredeck - and an outside helm station. One point to check: the side access to the flybridge on the starboard side seems pretty steep. Inside, the manufacturer promises a large nacelle, an 8.1 cu ft (230 l) refrigerator and perfectly soundproofed double cabins.
