Three-cabin layout. V-berth forward with storage lockers below. Filler to convert to double. Next aft to port is an enclosed head with slide out vanity sink, head with electric macerator pump, and shower with hot and cold pressure water. Opposite the head is a hanging locker and pantry with slide out storage bins. There is a fold-up shelf between the head and hanging locker to provide extra counter space next to the stove. Main cabin has a settee and convertible dinette. It can be set up with full teak table, custom small round cocktail table with hardwood compass inlay, or converted to a double berth. Flatscreen television is mounted on the aft port bulkhead. Aft to starboard is a fold-down chart table with a quarter berth below and aft. The interior is teak paneled, with teal cushions and a hardwood cabin sole with custom inlay trim refinished with Ultimate Sole. The pilothouse affords 360 degree visibility while keeping you dry, warm and out of the wind and spray. The opening center windshield, two opening side windows and sliding plexiglass hatch provide plenty of ventilation in warmer weather. The pilothouse has a refinished teak wheel, a new captain’s helm seat to port and a settee to starboard. A folding cockpit table is stored on the aft bulkhead and can be set up in the cockpit or in the pilothouse for dining with a view in inclement weather. Excellent engine access is provided through removable floorboards in the pilothouse. All three cabins have Webasto forced air diesel heat and fans for air circulation.
