Interior Layout
|
Starting from forward of the mast bulkhead, is the main sleeping cabin
with Pullman berth to port and clothing lockers and small seat and
table to starboard. Included in this area is a head and washbasin
compartment. A galley pantry area has been installed in the existing
head. Both wicker and plastic bins are used to store fruit and
vegetables along with other galley items. A door separates this cabin
from the main saloon and with the door closed there is easy room to
dress or have privacy without being cramped. Three opening deck
hatches supply plenty of light and air to this cabin and heads area. | |
|
Aft of the mast bulkhead is the main saloon, which comprises a
galley to Starboard and a settee arrangement to port with seating
around the main table for 4 to 6 people. Outside of both these areas,
are ports set into the hull, which allow light and a view when seated
at the table or working in the galley. Beneath the seats are stowage
compartments and the freshwater pump and water tank selector valves.
There is more stowage behind seat backs | |
|
The
galley to starboard has a fridge unit at its forward end, then bench
surface with top opening compartments at the back (against the hull
side) and slide out racks and trash bin on the facing side. In the
middle of the galley is a 2 burner gimbaled propane stove with oven
and a locker for pot stowage is beneath. | |
|
Next
to this is an athwart ship bench top with twin sinks and hot and cold
water and a seawater foot pump spigot with a folding stainless drying
rack above the sinks. Outboard of this is another insulated and
fiberglass storage compartment. A locker for plates and general
stowage is above this compartment. Above the sink on the starboard
cabin side is an opening port, the same type of opening window is on
the port cabin side. There are 2 ventilators supplying air to this
area and one large hatch positioned centrally in the cabin top and 2
full-length handrails. A fan can be used to draw air into or out of
the galley area. An island with book and shelved storage provides
support while working in the galley underway. | |
|
Aft
of this central area is a navigation table and seat to port and the
main head/ shower compartment to starboard. The nav area has a storage
locker abeam of the seat with the hot water heater mounted below the
seat. Above this is the main switch panel with both A/C and D/C
breaker panels .The chart table has good legroom and a cabinet with
shelves on its face side and a large stowage area aft and beneath it. | |

heads area is large and has an easy to use shower with an auto
draining sump and an opening cabin port for cross ventilation. A
Lavac head with ceramic bowl is installed. The Henderson pump has a
Y-valve before the pump that allows you to empty the holding tank or
the bowl and a Y-valve after which allows you to pump directly
overboard or into the holding tank. The wash basin has a cabinet
behind it and a stowage cabinet beneath. | |

The

holly sole throughout the main cabin. Additional low power halogen
lights installed in main saloon with standard stainless Red/white

Beneath the fwd saloon sole area are 2 x fresh water tanks for a total
of 100 gallons. | |
|
The
main companionway steps are centrally located at the end of the main
saloon. Behind these steps (removable) is the engine compartment with
fuel filters and raw water filters immediately at hand. All panels in
this area can be removed to provide really good engine access. | |
|
To
the port and starboard of the companion way steps and engine
compartment are 2 identical sleeping cabins with double bunks,
cabinets and hanging lockers and shelves Both these cabins have doors
and sufficient space for privacy and changing with the doors closed
Both cabins have opening ports into the cockpit and overhead opening
hatches, which open within the cover of the hard dodger thus allowing
them to remain open. Both cabins have hull side widows for light and
view, lights, fans and electrical outlets. | |
|
Within these cabins are removable panels at sole level that allow
access to the motor and shaft packing. | |
|
The
stb cabin has a holding tank under its bunk whilst the port cabin is
mostly clear storage beneath the bunk apart from the engine starting
batteries positioned here. | |
