BOAT TEST: 2006 Atlantis 39

For the below-decks accommodation, Demaria kept the faith with the bold new look pioneered by Carlo Galeazzi for the 39's big sister, the radical Atlantis 55. Euro-lite external styling doesn't prepare you for life down below. It's fun and exciting: A basic palette of pale oak, cream, and ivory might seem fairly safe, but have a look at those red lacquer highlights, the dark mahogany blinds, and the checked rope and red leather upholstery. You couldn't ask for more of a contrast, yet it all works well together.

And the flair of this interior is not just confined to the decor: The berths in the aft cabin might be on the short side (just six feet), but the way they slide together to create a good-size double is clever. There is stowage everywhere: under the forward berth, over the saloon sofa, in numerous galley lockers, and in the hanging locker and small sideboard in the aft cabin. That little red odds-and-ends tray set into the center of the folding table seems no more than a pointless quirk at first—it needs to be lifted out as the table is unfolded and then replaced—but it's beautifully made, fits perfectly, and after you've used it a few times, you remember that it's things like this that give a boat character.

But for all that, the real point to this interior is the obvious one: It has two cabins and two en suite heads. Few boats in this class can offer that much privacy and comfort in 39 feet, and while the aft cabin might lack full headroom, it's perfectly presentable for occasional guests or family visits—and of course, kids will love it.

The new Atlantis has been carefully conceived with a particular market in mind: yours. It looks good, functions well, and handles beautifully. Can this "world boat" succeed in making its way in the world? That's entirely up to you.

BOAT SPEED GRAPH

Volvo Penta's D6 commmon-rail diesel provides maximum torque in a wide band between 200 rpm and 2500 rpm, giving great mid-range acceleration. Unfortunately, technical problems prevented us from timing the entire acceleration run.

GEAR ONBOARD

Navigation and Entertainment: Raymarine's neat C70, on the left side of the instrument panel above, offers a bright 640x480-pixel image on a six-inch screen. Use it as a stand-alone or as a display for radar, sounder, log, plotter, and fishfinder.

The Sony RM-XM10 remote CD and radio control at the 39's helm is a cool battery-powered, wireless, infrared-signal transmitter, with an illuminated keypad and backlit display.—A.H.
