Boarding the vessel through the forward portside boarding gate (there are port & starboard aft deck gates as well), entry is through a pantograph dogged door that appears quite robust. Directly inside, there is a companionway leading forward and down to the owner and guest accommodations. Across from the entry door, to starboard, is the galley. A laundry locker is adjacent. A small but effective portside office/navigation station is just aft of the full-beam helm console and forward of the main entry. A set of companionway steps leads aft up to the flybridge.

A set of double doors leads aft to the salon; a sliding door then leads to the aft deck.

A separate companionway aft in the salon leads to the aft VIP stateroom.

The forward owner/guest arrangement places two guest cabins with ensuite heads furthest forward with a small foyer between them and the amidships full-beam master with full-beam ensuite head.

There are two crew cabins with ensuite heads with access via a foredeck hatch.

Under the aft deck is a voluminous lazarette.

SALON

The forward entry is very elegant—double doors of Birdseye maple. To starboard is a settee set into an alcove. There is a dining table finished in dark burl with seating for eight and a large lighted glass art piece hangs from the alcove wall.  Across to port is a custom dish/glass locker (one of three) and small banquette which angle inward to meet the end of the angled sofa which runs to the aft bulkhead. This bulkhead is of stainless steel/glass construction with sliding door & curtain. Coupled with the side windows (some are sliding/opening ), gloss white lacquered overheads with inlays, and halogen lighting, the salon is bright and cheerful under all conditions.  There is a portside angled settee flanked by storage cabinetry of maple & burl.  Settees and carpeting are white. A 21” Sony TV raises from its hidden position and the cabinetry also closes off from view an icemaker and refrigerator.  Overall, the mix of light/dark joinery, ambient light, and the angled arrangement is very Italian and quite pleasing to the eye. 

There is little visual separation between the salon and the aft deck with it’s L-shaped settee which will handily seat four with the extra director-style folding chairs. The flybridge overhang protects against sun or inclement weather and the teak sole is comfortable underfoot. Knee-high bulwarks and fat stainless steel handrails protect and yet allow good sightlines from this highly popular part of the boat.  Full walk around side decks P & S for easy line handling.

MASTER STATEROOM

On center with headboard ( a mirrored bulkhead ) aft is the king-sized berth with  gold fabric shams and  flanked by end tables with reading lamps. There is a bureau to starboard with two port lights & curtains w/ stainless steel covers above. Over to portside are similar port lights beneath which is a settee and bookshelves. The port & starboard hanging lockers provide ample storage. The headliner and carpeting are white. The maple walls have highly radiused corners giving this stateroom a soft look.

The ensuite head is a full-beam his ‘n hers affair with separate entrances; there is a very large shower stall in between. As is the case with every shower stall onboard, there is a teak grating to walk on, which is a very civilized thing indeed. Both heads have their own Headhunter toilet (as throughout the rest of the boat) & bidet, marble vanity, and port light w/curtain. All the hardware and fixtures are high-end.

FORWARD GUEST STATEROOMS

These two cabins are the same: twin berths with bookshelves, port lights, hanging lockers, and an ensuite head with toilet, bidet, and shower stall.

AFT VIP STATEROOM

Accessed from the aft salon via a circular stairwell, this cabin is almost as large as the master stateroom. The joinery is a mix of light maple and dark burl. The berth is king-size with a headboard up against the aft bulkhead, which is mirrored. There is halogen lighting in the white overheads, double port lights, and end tables with swag-type reading lamps. Cabinet/drawer/hanging locker storage is very ample. Carpeting is white.

The ensuite head is over on the starboard side and has a marble vanity, toilet & bidet, and a port light. The enclosed shower stall is very roomy and has its own port light for ventilation and outside light. Overall, it is a very VIP stateroom.

CREW CABINS

The two cabins are surprisingly spacious and, even though they are adjoining, they each have a private entrance door (the photo of this area shows the high quality of the door hardware). The berths are large, the joinery is the same maple found throughout the rest of the boat, and each cabin has it’s own ensuite head w/ shower stall. Separate A/C controls plus port lights will keep this crew very satisfied. A single foredeck hatch gives access to the two cabin doors.                                                 

GALLEY & LAUNDRY

Very ‘Euro’ (read: efficient), everything is within easy reach. Closed off from the rest of the boat with a pocket door, and with a door opening out onto the side deck, this works well for either owner/operators or for a more formal crewed arrangement.  The forward bulkhead has a stainless steel diamond plate backsplash with rods and racks for tin foil, paper towels, kitchen utensils, and the like.  There is a sliding window to allow fresh air and light; the white-lacquered cabinetry ( no shortage of storage here ) is nicely offset by the dark granite countertops. In an adjacent locker, outside the galley, is the laundry.

• Miele clothes washer & dryer
• Stainless steel double sink
• Ironing board
• Garbage disposal
• Four-burner stove & oven
• Bosch dishwasher
• Sharp Microwave oven

LOWER HELM

Behind three large windshield sections ( each with it’s own demister ) framed in beautifully fabricated stainless steel—very Italian—is the helm instrument console which stretches from one side of the boat to  the other. There is a white L-shaped settee to starboard which will seat three. The skipper has his own seat behind the wood-spoked wheel, on center. Radar & chart plotter are close by, with the switches/alarm lights off to the left, and lesser navionics off to the right. There is a lot of information displayed here and yet the look is uncluttered. Off to portside, in close proximity to the helmsman, the office/nav station provides computer & telephone access and all the little things that are necessary to operate the boat and keep clutter to a minimum. Plus a chair to sit down.

FLYBRIDGE

The helm is offset to starboard and facing the large bench-type helm seat is a wood-spoked wheel. Gauges are protected behind plexiglass panels and there is a plexi sprayshield.

Everything has a white canvas cover with fasteners that won’t let go in a serious blow.

The sole up here is teak planking—and, as throughout the rest of the boat, are in excellent condition. The Bimini top is white canvas on stainless steel bows—simple and effective.

This is a marvelous area for entertaining with all the built-in seating, refrigerator, Jennair grill, sink, two small tables on pedestals for munchies & drinks, and plenty of storage.

A very clever and unique idea is a section of teak grating (which drains) next to the telephone shower.  The radar arch is a high-styled winged type that doesn’t hog too much space on the deck.  Aft is the 14-foot RIB w/ 25 hp outboard. Hidden from view is a dunnage box and low-profile davit. A life raft is stowed back here as well.

LAZARETTE

The hatch over to starboard in the aft deck sole provides access to the surprisingly roomy lazarette. Not just a place to throw extra fenders & dock lines, there are shelves and places for boxes of spare parts. There are shore power connections as well. The space is clean and appears to stay dry.

ENGINE ROOM

The engine room access door is off the port side deck just forward of the aft deck area. A vertical ladder runs down the aft bulkhead, which contains a pump shelf, and underneath is a workbench with tool box and various drawers for spare parts and such. Over on the starboard side of the bulkhead are the four AquaAir compressors for the chilled water system which, at 126,000 BTU, supplies much more than the boat needs.

There are two 20 KW Onans in hush boxes with 350 and 1000 hours as of 4/07.

The main engines are painted silver and are fitted with chromed valve covers and some external plumbing is stainless steel. They are equipped with Racors, AirSeps, and the exhausts are reverse run up high (see photo) before they drop to the mixer elbows—this allows relatively easy access around all the machinery and to operate fuel priming and oil transfer pumps. Engine hours on the port engine were 1200 in 4/07, while the starboard has only 100 since it was recently replaced. Sole is diamond plate and overhead lighting is fluorescent + incandescent.

BROKER COMMENTS

Since 1958, Cantiere Navale San Lorenzo has continued to “WOW” the discerning yachtsman with fast, sea kindly yachts that are uniquely and beautifully styled inside and out. “Gracious Lady” exemplifies all that and more with her numerous professionally contracted upgrades and painstaking mechanical maintenance.  She attains that unlikely combination of speed, looks, and functionality.

Four staterooms (the full-beam master and the VIP both have king berths) with ensuite heads plus two crew cabins with ensuite heads, spacious aft deck & flybridge, and a pilothouse that rivals anything in her class.  “Gracious Lady” is in spectacular condition and is the perfect choice for someone who requires a ‘turn-key’ vessel that could leave tomorrow for an extended cruise.
