Broom are pleased to introduce the latest addition to their range of luxury cruising motor yachts. The Broom 365 sets new standards in on-board luxury and offshore handling for a medium sized aft cabin cruiser. The 365 is a quick, stable sea going boat utilising the new Volvo D series range of engines that bring together a new dimension in lower fuel consumption, lower noise levels and enhanced systems monitoring.

The Andrew Wolstenholme hull design has a medium 'v' planing hull with a shallow skeg/ keel which allows higher cruising speeds whilst retaining low speed handling. The air draft can be further reduced by lowering the radar arch. This allows freedom to cruise unrestricted in many of Europe's finest inland waterways. As with all Broom motor yachts customer feedback has played a major role in the design and interior layout of the 365.

Hull Design and Construction:

The hull and superstructure are manufactured by Brooms associate company Aquafibre using stringent quality control throughout the lay-up process. The hull mouldings are produced using hand laid chopped strand mat and woven rovings in Lloyds approved isophthalic and orthophthalic resin over a double-brushed isophthalic gel coat, all but eliminating the risk of osmosis. Transverse and longitudinal stringers are incorporated for strength. The hull and deck joints are both riveted and bonded.

Deck Design:

Well laid out to provide an easy to handle and safe boat when either mooring or anchoring. A major feature on the 365 is the easy and safe access from both sides of the transom with more than adequate safety rails and handholds. The side decks run outboard to the complete deck area with a reduced slip surface and substantial 25mm safety rails. The aft deck area has sliding doors to port and starboard enhancing the security aspect when cruising with children or in inclement weather. The cockpit consists of a full width transom mounted bench seat, with rotating helm and navigator seats. This combination allows for excellent aft deck socialising.

Command Position:

The large console has been carefully laid out to give good vision for the engine instruments and navigational aids. The driving position gives excellent visibility for the helmsman and crew with protection provided by the large windscreen. An easily removable two part canopy covers the helm station and aft cockpit. Forward of the mast the hinged frame system can quickly and easily be unclipped and stowed in good weather.

Deck Saloon:

The centrepiece of the 365 is a spacious area with a long sideboard containing cupboards which has the potential for a large storage area. Comfortable seating is provided with a large 'u' shaped settee on the starboard side with a hydraulically operated table, allowing for use as both a coffee and dining table. Large panoramic windows surround the deck saloon giving an air of spaciousness. Sliding opening windows to port and starboard.

Galley:

The essential part of any serious cruising boat. Brooms have a reputation for amalgamating customer feedback with design innovation providing for a well thought through and easy to work galley area.
