Accommodations

Enter the companionway from the protected cockpit and find the well-appointed U-shaped galley on the port. To starboard is an enclosed stateroom with double quarter berth and dressing area with hanging locker and storage drawers. Forward of the aft stateroom is an aft-facing nav station. A settee is forward of the nav station on starboard, and across on port is a large dinette with seating for six-plus around a table with a beautiful wood-grain design. Forward of the dinette on port is the entrance to the large head with sink/vanity and separate shower with seat. Across from the head entrance is a diesel heater and hanging locker. Enter the forward stateroom and find another hanging locker on starboard with dressing seat and drawer storage. The roomy double V-berth has storage on both sides and sail storage underneath. Beautiful teak runs throughout the interior of this fine well-equipped vessel. Deck prisms add natural light down below and opening ports and deck hatches provide excellent ventilation.
