INTERIOR WALK-THRU
Interior Walk-Thru
As you step below you are greeted by a large open salon. This is partially due to the fact that the table is folded up against the forward bulkhead. When the table is open it reveals bottle and small item storage. This table folds down with a large leaf that fold over to provide seating from both the port and starboard settee. The L-shaped settee to starboard pulls out to make a double berth with the port side being a single, providing sleeping for (7). The settees are covered in an off-white ultra leather fabric (condition is like new). There is large amounts of storage both behind and beneath both settees. Both natural light and ventilation is provided by (4) opening ports and a large overhead hatch. As for security when underway there are (2) overhead teak handrails.
To starboard at the aft end of the salon is the nav station with a large chart table which has two leveling legs to provide added serving or dining space. Also, all breaker panels for both 12 volt and 120 volt are located here, electronics as well as inverter controls.
The gallery is located just aft of the nav area. There is a large wrap-around countertop with Formica and solid teak sea rails on all open edges. There is a large 14 cubic foot, top load ice box / refrigerator with lift out shelf and divider as well as an electric sump drain. There is a three burner LPG gimbled stainless steel stove with oven for cooking and for clean up a large double bowl stainless steel sink. Hot and cold pressure water as well as a cold water hand pump. Tip out trash bin for those unwanted items. Plenty of storage both above and below the counter includes a designated dish rack and cutlery drawers.
To port side of the companionway is access to the common head with access from both the salon and aft guest cabin. This head has a full shower pan with a automatic sump drain and a large fold down teak shower seat. The vanity is complete with a pullout shower head, stainless steel sink mounted on a Formica countertop with teak sea rails. There is also plenty of storage both above and below the counter and behind the toilet.
The aft cabin has privacy doors to main cabin and head compartment. Large double berth with a full-length teak shelf outboard, stowage lockers beneath as well as a dressing seat. A large cedar lined hanging locker, bureau w/shelf-over, two opening ports and an overhead hatch.
For the owner’s stateroom located forward of the salon. This space is beautifully finished as is the yacht with satin finished varnished teak. There is a large pullman style berth to starboard, with drawered storage beneath and a full-length shelf outboard. To starboard is a large bureau containing shelved storage and a large cedar lined hanging locker. There are three opening ports as well as a large overhead hatch.
Attached to the owner’s stateroom is a private head. This head has an abundance of both counter space and storage. Counters are finished in white Formica with teak sea rails, the sole is molded diamond patterned fiberglass with built in drains for the shower. For ventilation there are two opening ports and an overhead hatch….
Engine access is very good with large removeable panels on both port and starboard sides and by removing the companionway stairs a third panel reveals the front end of the engine.
The entire yacht is beautifully finished teak through-out with teak and holy cabin sole except for at the base of the companionway, galley and both heads which have a diamond patterned molded fiberglass.
