Accommodations
Chain locker all the way forward followed by a large vee-berth guest cabin. There is an overhead hatch and opening ports for light and ventilation, nice teak storage cabinetry, and a private entrance to the forward head. The forward head doubles as a day head with a separate entrance to the main cabin passageway. The main cabin has a dinette on the port side across from a long settee on the starboard side. There is excellent storage in cabinetry below and outboard of the seating, and plenty of light and ventilation provided by an overhead hatch and more opening ports.
The galley is on the port side adjacent to the companionway. The galley features double stainless steel sinks, separate refrigerator and deep freezer compartments, a microwave, and a Force 10 3-burner stove with oven. The forward-facing navigation desk is on the starboard side of the companionway. Convenient access to the main electrical panel is right next to the nav desk.
The aft cabin can be accessed either through the passageway behind the nav station, or through a separate companionway from the cockpit. The master aft cabin includes a large double berth on the center line and plenty of storage in hanging lockers and drawers. Adjacent to the master cabin is a spacious ensuite head compartment, complete with hand-held shower.
The center cockpit is well protected from the elements by a nearly new dodger and bimini that also provide for a shaded place to relax after a fun day on the water.
