The fifth Jongert 2700M sold recently, making this model one of Jongert’s most successful designs. Although similar to her predecessors—Matokaoma, Vivid, Sea Rose Star and the newly launched Annabelle—the latest 2700M will feature new and innovative details, including a completely redesigned aft deck and twin outside steering positions. There will also be two seating areas forward of the open deckhouse, which will have a sliding roof like that aboard the new 2900M Ameena. Her general layout will reflect that of the existing 2700M builds, while her interior will have a modern design with pear joinery. An early 2007 launch is planned. Visit www.jongert.com
