The new Outer Reef 580 has just about everything you need for long-range cruising or living aboard: three staterooms, two heads, a raised pilothouse, a flybridge, a Portuguese bridge, and enough teak everywhere to warm the heart of even the saltiest cruiser among us. There’s even simulated hull planking to add to the classic look.
With large windows, the pilothouse provides great visibility; it also houses an L- shaped settee on a raised platform, a teak table on a stainless steel pedestal, and a Stidd helm chair. From the 580’s pilothouse, one teak stairway leads up to the flybridge, while another teak stairway leads down to the accommodations deck. Below, the full-beam master has a king-sized bed, lots of teak, and an en suite head with shower. The VIP stateroom is forward, with a queen bed and teak storage drawers and wall paneling. The guest stateroom is to port, with two bunk berths. You can access the guest head, with shower, from the VIP stateroom or from the lower hallway.
On the main deck, the Outer Reef’s salon has an L-shaped settee, a teak coffee table, and teak wall paneling with satin finish. The galley has Corian countertops and lots of storage in teak cabinets. The aft deck is fully protected by an overhang from the boat deck above. The flybridge has a Stidd helm chair, stainless destroyer wheel, and an L-shaped settee.
The Outer Reef’s hull is hand-laid fiberglass, with sandwich core above the waterline and vinylester barrier lamination to protect against osmosis. Power comes from two 500-hp John Deere diesels.
