Layout & Accommodations

A faux teak‑and‑holly sole and pleated window coverings dress the bright salon. The forward cabin offers a sliding V‑berth filler and hanging locker, and the aft cabin has a generous double berth. Screens on all ports/hatches (most unused) ensure bug‑free ventilation, and an accordion door provides privacy to the forward berth. Recently installed Zarcor companionway hatch doors with interchangeable white, tinted, and screened panels (2024) improve access.

The reverse‑cycle 12,000 BTU Cruiseair unit supplies heating and cooling throughout the boat. A manual Jabsco head with macerator (17-gal holding tank) was overhauled in 2024. Hot/cold pressure water from a Shurflo pump and a Seaward 6‑gal heater serves the galley, head, and cockpit shower.
