Aquafibre Dual Steer models |

|
In 1982 the Aquafibre Sapphire 32 was launched. Sleek, stylish and very modern this was a very smart craft indeed. At 32ft up to 6 berts was the standard with variations on layout sometimes seeing the galley in the central saloon or more often just forward, before the forward cabin. Every bit of space is well used with two wc/shower rooms and the choice of steering from inside or out. This design was built over several years and is still popular today. |

Above: The Crystal 37 was a similar but 37ft version of the Sapphire. There are a number of differences mainly around the design of the aft cabin and superstructure. With its extra 5ft up to eight berths could be offered. |

Below: This low-line dual steer model was launched at the end of the 1980s as the first dual steer cruiser to be able to navigate all Broadland bridges, including Potter Heigham at the right low tide. Available in 38 and 44ft lengths and later models had a stern door to help access. |


|
Below: This 43ft cruiser was designed as an extension to the single steer 35ft version around 1994. The 43ft version featured a second steering position and accommodation for up to eight. The independently sliding saloon canopies allow either left, right or both sides to be open. |
