When the Forsythes took possession of the 79-foot-by-26-foot boat, it only had a few windows on the upper deck. Desiring more space and light, they decided to raise the ceiling, push out the walls, and add more windows.
The couple also wanted a light, warm, contemporary feeling on the upper deck. To achieve this, the designer brought in the subtle colors of sea and sand. Two embossed leather accent tables repeat the dark cherry color of the beams and trim.
