An &#8220;extendable&#8221; beach area at the stern is what sets Effe apart from others in her size bracket, with two large aft wings that deploy to form a &#8220;terrace on the sea&#8221;. She is an evolution of Wraith, the first unit in the AB 125 series.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7-4-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12817\" style=\"width:700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7-4-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7-4-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7-4-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7-4-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7-4-1568x882.webp 1568w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7-4.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This beach area is integrated with the aft cockpit and main saloon, creating a single convivial area that exceeds 100 square metres.
