Descriptions

Vessel Walkthrough

 

Entering from the center cockpit companionway, you enter the pilothouse. The entire interior of the vessel is finished with solid teak everywhere you look. The pilothouse is home to a large dinette with solid teak table and bench seating with leather upholstery to port, an open galley to starboard and a helm forward.  Walking forward down two steps is the main salon with L-shaped settees to either side, various storage lockers and a cabinet with a washer/dryer.  Moving forward to port is the forward head with separate shower.  Opposite the head is a private guest stateroom to starboard.  All the way forward is an additional guest stateroom with over/ under single bunks to starboard and a workbench to port.  Moving aft from the pilothouse, you enter the master aft stateroom with center line queen berth and private head to port.  There is an abundance of storage throughout the vessel in custom sold teak cabinetry, drawers and lockers. The entire vessel is air conditioned via three separate reverse cycle units.



Pilothouse And Salon

The large pilothouse features wrap-around windows and plenty of headroom.  It shares space with a very well equipped and spacious galley.  Engine room access is through multiple hatches in the teak parquet floors.   The main salon is down two steps from the pilothouse, and offers plenty of comfortable seating for conversation and a large flat screen television.  There are solid teak cabinets throughout and a large opening hatch.

 

 

Galley

The enormous galley takes up the entire starboard side of the pilothouse.  The galley features beautifully finished epoxy counter tops, plenty of space for food prep, a large pantry, multiple cabinets, and a separate top loading refrigerator and freezer.



Forward Staterooms

Two staterooms are located forward of the main salon.  The forward-most stateroom offers over and under single bunks to starboard, and a workbench to port.  Access to the anchor chain locker is all the way forward. An additional private stateroom is to starboard with a double berth and plenty of storage lockers.  



Aft Master Stateroom

The aft master stateroom is spacious, and utilizes the full beam of the vessel.   The queen size berth is center-line facing fore and aft.  The stateroom offers its own 12,000 BTU air conditioning unit for climate control.  The berth features a very comfortable innerspring mattress and numerous drawers, cabinets and hanging lockers.
