The average age of cruisers keeps increasing: It is much more difficult today to take a few years out of a busy career than it used to be. Leaving jobs and family behind may simply not be feasible. Many have to wait till retirement until they can afford to go cruising.

• With age we want more comfort; why make do with less than accustomed from home.
• We also need more comfort – as stamina and strength decrease, injuries take much longer to heal and health issues become more frequent and severe.

A comfortable and convenient yacht takes the sting out of these facts and supports a cruising life for years longer than a more spartan yacht would – or enables the cruising life in the first place: A partner who isn’t terribly keen on sailing will be much more inclined to come along and stay if the experience is pleasant and comfortable.

• Being a seaworthy and a sea-kindly yacht with pilot house, fixed dodger, and the efficient rig and deck-layout, Lynx is comfortable and convenient by design and she has all the comforts of a well-appointed home.
