was the name for the version of a model with a closed deck house, without aft cabin and instead with an open cockpit. The term was introduced with the launch of the Royal Cruiser 31 as a differentiator for the "Adriatic" or "Baltic".
The next ship was the Royal Cruiser 40 which was built as a Biscay from 1980 as well as a short time later the Royal Cruiser 34.
