The C-Yacht 1130 ds is a bit of a mansion in the yard's model range. Against the backdrop of the rest of the boats with their characteristic smoothed architecture, the 1130 ds with its flat lines looks a bit rough. This yacht is the first attempt to combine the architecture of an elevated salon (hence ds - Deck Saloon) with the exterior styling of the Pilot House. The interior layout of the yacht is interesting - despite her rather long length she has only two cabins: very spacious bow and stern, more modest. The rest of the space is a salon, galley, navigator's seat and a very large area of latrines. Under the cockpit there is simply a huge locker.
Initially, the design of the yacht was not intended to be the fastest in class, but rather to be a leisurely cruiser, comfortable and safe for a small crew. In the gentle breeze, the boat, though light, has low energy levels, is almost helpless under sail, especially on sharp courses.
