To access the foredeck, there are 2 fixed steps from the cockpit and a well positioned grab rail on the coach roof to help make a safe transition along the uncluttered side decks.
The helm stations are placed forward of the cockpit seating which gives the helmsman great visibility all around including through the pilothouse, as well as being safer “centre cockpit”.
The U-shaped cockpit seating provides comfortable, spacious seating up to 10 with a large teak cockpit table with folding leaves and a cover. All electronics, winches and sheets are within easy reach of the helmsman. Elk hide cover on both wheels. The engine is easily accessed through two wide hatches in the cockpit floor.

The Gorbon 53 was designed as performance cruiser yet easy to manoeuvre. All sheets and lines lead aft to the sides of the cockpit, and there is great visibility from all 3 comfortable helm stations.
Layout of the lines to the electric winches together with the furling boom plus self-tacking jib, make it easy to sail single or short handed.
