the new model, and the headroom is so high, LeBron James
could throw down a dunk. Here, as with the balcony off the
salon, the sense of openness is powerful. A few builders with
models in the M90’s size range are putting the master state-
room forward on the main deck, where it’s typically located
aboard larger yachts, but the M90’s atrium eff ect feels just as
“big boat” in its own way. ¶ On the technology side, Hatteras’

HattCon system is included as standard equipment. It pro-

vides fi ngertip control over a host of navigation systems and

ship-monitoring data. While yacht builders naturally strive

to provide owners and captains with integrated information

at the helm, units unfortunately don’t “talk” to one anoth-

er properly at times. That requires multiple, and sometimes

inconsistent, systems installations. Hatteras’ own research

and development department set out to simplify things, with

the input of a Germany-based marine-engineering company.

HattCon integrates systems that owners and captains might

want to monitor, along with ones it’s convenient to control, via

THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT
