MiLady — Jeanneau 54DS

Reading this specification

MiLady — Jeanneau 54DS is published as Jeanneau 54DS, a monohull operated by Whitsunday Sailing out of Airlie Beach, QLD. As a monohull she will heel under sail, point higher than a catamaran, and move more kindly in a seaway once there is weight in the boat. She will also draw more, which rules out some shallow anchorages.

The published figure of Up to 12 guests guests is the number the operator advertises. It does not tell you which of the three limits it is. A vessel commonly carries a day-passenger limit, a lower offshore limit and a lower again count of usable overnight berths, and only the survey certificate settles which applies to your route. The 3 cabins listed are cabins, not berths, and a paid skipper or sail guide will occupy one of them.

What the specification cannot tell you is the part that decides the week: boarding geometry for an older guest, whether the air conditioning runs at anchor or only on shore power, how much shade the cockpit actually has at two in the afternoon, and whether the photographs are of this hull or a sister ship. Those are questions for the operator, and the list below is the short version.
