Accommodations

Just wow. Upon seeing the layout of the Manta 42, I was struck with how well designed she is.  

Upon entering, the living spaces, including the galley are on one level and this area is so light and bright from all the windows. Very cheery and really, all you need.

The sleeping areas and heads are in each of the hulls and, in addition to large areas, provide so much storage, in addition to good access to the engines.

Of note is that she has reverse cycle heat and air throughout that is run either by shore power or generator when at anchor.
