LIBRA

## Libra — Greek Islands Some yachts reveal themselves gradually. Libra makes her case immediately, through sheer volume: the indoor and outdoor spaces here are unusually generous, and they are what shape every day aboard. The clearest expression of that is the forward deck saloon. Reached directly from inside rather than by a trek around the side decks, it sits open to the water — a genuinely useful room, sheltered enough for a long lunch, exposed enough that you never lose the sense of where you are. In the Cyclades, where the meltemi decides more of your afternoon than any itinerary does, having a choice of protected and open living areas matters more than most brochures admit. Accommodation Five cabins, each with a double bed, accommodating ten guests. An even, uncomplicated layout — no hierarchy of who gets the good room, which is precisely what makes it work for two or three families travelling together, or a group of friends who would rather not negotiate. Life aboard Libra is built for company. The scale of the shared spaces means ten guests never feel like ten guests: there is room to gather for dinner and room to disappear with a book an hour later. Greek island cruising suits her well — short hops between anchorages, long stretches at anchor, meals that drift from one deck to another as the light moves. Her crew handles the rhythm of that kind of charter without fuss, from provisioning for a full boat to knowing which bay stays calm when the wind turns north.
