Accommodations

Starting forward is a double V-berth with storage beneath. The head is just aft and to port with a marine toilet, stainless sink, and shower. To starboard is a teak hanging locker with a set of drawers. Further aft is the main salon which has an L-shaped dinette with a table that stows against the forward bulkhead for extra room, but also comes down to form a large double bed. On the starboard side is a settee with additional storage behind and underneath. The navigation table is just aft of the settee and includes the AC/DC panel and VHF radio. Behind the nav station is another double berth. To port is a well-designed, U-shaped galley with lots of storage and ample counter space. Features include: Hot & cold pressure water, 2-burner stove & oven, dual stainless steel sinks and refrigeration box. The large cockpit provides additional outdoor “living space”. It can accommodate 7 adults and has a fold-up starboard cockpit table for entertaining.

The deck is nice and open and easy to get around. The walk-through transom and swim platform make it easy to get on and off of the boat, whether from a dinghy, dock, or swimming. The stern rail seats are the "best seats in the house" and a great place to have a cocktail and watch the scenery go by.
