The R400 can be assembled from a Plasma cut kit. The Steel Kit Construction section describes the characteristics of the R400 hull, general design considerations, plus assembly and contents of the kits. The accommodation drawings give an indication of what will easily fit into the space available. As the accommodation does not contribute to the structural strength of the yacht it can be easily altered to suit the owner's requirements. Tanks are mostly located below the cabin sole with more space available on the pilot house version.
All layout drawings show comfortable, wide settees with angled backrests.
The pilot house is designed so that you can see out the windows whether seated or standing. The galleys are large with plenty of stowage. The forward vee berths can be converted to a double or, built as single upper and lower berths. Use the navigation aids at the top of the page to view the various accommodation layouts for the centre cockpit, aft cockpit and pilot house versions of the R400. The aft cockpit and pilot house versions have large lazarettes with good access to the steering gear and gas bottle stowage under the aft deck.
