Coring is also deleted at areas of hull penetration for thru-hull fittings.

Additional hull stiffening provided by bulkheads and cabinetry tabbed to hull interior.

Lead ballast keel attached to keel sump by way of stainless steel bolts.

Deck construction is also cored fiberglass construction with balsa core eliminated in high stress areas such as deck hardware locations.

Hull to deck joint is inward turning hull flange overlaid by deck flange bonded, bolted and further covered by exterior rub rail.

Exterior surfaces on deck, house, cockpit are original gelcoat in smooth white and non-skid white and gray finish textures.

Interior Arrangement and Accommodations

The interior of NO NEWS is configured in such a way as to be just about perfect for a couple (with friends) or a small family to cruise in comfort and ease with sleeping accommodations for up to 5 people and 6’, 3” headroom through-out.

When entering the interior space from the cockpit / companionway there is a dinette to star board and a long single settee to port. The dinette easily handles 4 persons for dinner and can be converted to a double berth. The settee to port also does double duty as a sleeping berth when needed. The cushions for the dinette and the settee to port were just reupholstered in 2022.

Forward of the dinette (to starboard) is the head area with separate stall shower (a feature rarely if ever found on a 30’ boat)and teak shower seat. Other features in the head area include the manually operated toilet, vanity and mirror, stainless steel sink basin, chrome faucet and (of course) hot and cold pressure water.

Opposite the head area (to port) is the galley area with a stainless steel sink basin with faucet for supply of hot and cold pressure water and a foot pump for manually supplied water, three burner propane stove / oven, well-insulated ice box and plenty of storage space in drawers and lockers for food stuffs, cookware, glasses, china and cutlery in drawers and lockers.

Continuing forward is the main stateroom with a Pullman style double berth offset to port and a vanity area with mirror and chest of drawers to starboard

There is ample storage space aboard NO NEWS in cabinets, drawers, lockers and bin storage areas under berthing spaces. There are 7 opening ports (new port curtains, 2022) and 4 overhead hatches. All ports and hatches are equipped with screens. Headroom is 6’, 3” throughout the boat. LED lighting in all cabins (Marinebeam bulbs) new in 2021
