Vessel Walk Through

From the companionway ladder entering "Grace's" beautiful interior, the aft cabin, with a double berth and hanging locker is to port. Forward of the cabin is a head with sink, separate shower, Lavac toilet and good storage.

To starboard from the companionway ladder is the fully outfitted and well designed nav station, also providing easy access topside.

Forward of the nav station, also to starboard and mid ships is the U-shaped galley. The deep double sinks with hot/cold pressure fresh water, are oriented such that the cook is facing forward when using with storage directly beneath. The gimbaled stove with oven and broiler is oriented along the hull and there is a stainless bar to support while in the galley. Sea Frost separate refrigerator and freezer compartments with digital controls, new in 2021.

The main salon is the show stopper! Entering the main saloon is like entering an English library, with stunning cherry raised paneling and a fireplace. There is a settee with table to starboard and a settee to port, each with bookshelves behind. The headroom is 6'6" and there is plenty of ventilation and light, with six opening ports, two overhead hatches and two dorade vents. In addition, there are four cherry overhead lights. A flat panel television is mounted on the forward bulkhead. The salon is heated and air conditioned. The cabin sole is teak and holly.

Moving forward from the salon is the forward stateroom, with 6'1" headroom and a comfortable 7 foot double berth. To port is a cherry storage locker and there is large storage area under the berth. Behind the bed are cabinets with doors. There is an overhead hatch, and a dorade for ventilation. The cabin is heated and air conditioned.
