Pretty nice dream boat: Celeste Coupe 36'

[JonnyQuest]

While having expensive daydreams, I ran across this custom build (one-off design?) out of France. The write up describes trading off the standard 5-6 man berth configuration for a roomier two man configuration to make extended sailing quite comfortable.

Pretty boat. I like the nose of the front--a virtually straight bow gives the boat a distinctive look that reminds me of boats from the very early 1900s. I'm thinking Great Gatsby.

Now if I only had a half million dollars that it would likely take...

Strange having such an open transom. One of the shots on the www site shows a significant gap between the folding transom and deck floor. Not sure about that one.

Nice looking! Good strong sheer, nice proportions, sleek cabin profile. I like the inovative cabin layout with two single bunks in what is usually a useless vee berth area.
It also appears to be a fractional rig.

Absolutely gorgeous. Inside and out. Classy interior and not a lot of clutter topside. I didn't see a price anywhere though but I'm using the blackberryto view it.

Probably no published price

It appears to be a one-of-a-kind custom build, so probably will not find a price anywhere. (Probably out of my price range anyway!)
