Accommodations
tarting in the forepeak we find the crew’s quarters which are accessed by a large deck hatch. This cabin has two single berths, a head, and sink. Forward of the main salon is the large owner's cabin with a large double Pullman style berth to port, and a single berth to starboard. NEW mattresses installed in the owner's cabin 2004. There are storage drawers below the berths, a shelf along the outboard sides, and two hanging lockers. The forward head and shower is to port. Next aft in the main salon is the dining area on the port side. The settee is a long c-shape with a three-person settee on the centerline creating space for a large party to dine. There is cabinet and shelf storage outboard above the settee. Below this is another storage locker and below the settees is more storage. The engine is below the centerline settee for excellent engine access. To starboard is the laundry and then the galley which starts with a work surface most forward that has top-opening storage below it including the locker for a large trash bin, followed by twin round stainless steel sinks and then a Force 10 propane 3-burner stove with oven and broiler/grill. There is cabinet storage above and below the work surfaces. Along the centerline, and forming the back to the cushioned seat for the dining area, is a console containing more cabinet storage and providing a sideboard for serving food. Aft of the galley is the navigation area which has a huge chart table over the top-opening refrigeration and freezer units. Next aft are two more head and shower units, one on either side of the yacht. Most aft are two identical cabins with queen-sized berths, drawer storage and a hanging locker. The many hatches and side ports provide excellent natural light. The Lexan in all the hatches has been recently replaced. The teak and holly cabin sole has recently been re-varnished as well as the teak trims throughout. The whole of the interior has a restful, spacious and elegant feel to it.
