FALCON II is a 62' study of elegance. Her size gives ample opportunity for gracious living with her spacious main salon, galley and navigation station. Falcons' accomodations include one three bed guest stateroom in addition to the Owner's aft cabin. The main salon amidships is divided with the spacious galley and dinette area to port and the navigation area to starboard. Both the navigator's swivel arm chair and dining settee are at a height to permit a clear view through the six salon through-hull ports.
FALCON II is suitable for long distance, safe and comfortable cruising. She will withstand the most rigid survey.
The joinerwork and finish below in FALCON II are extraordinary as is befitting a vessel of her size, fittings and luxury. All interior wood is quarter sawn, straight-grained teak finished in satin. The cabin sole is teak and holly.
