Accommodation



Forward V Berth
Layout was spacious while also allowing for privacy.  She easily catered for our 2+2 family and on one occasion we had another adult couple with us for a couple of weeks.  They survived; the littlies did too!

We installed a removable headliner of laminated ply and floorings of solid 8mm iroko over ply.  To give a light and airy atmosphere below decks, furniture was made from white laminate over ply with teak and iroko trim.  Layout is standard, as per the plan.

Quarter Berth
 Forward Stateroom.  Starting forward there is a twin v-berth up forward with stowage under.  Ventilation is provided through an opening aluminium hatch above the berths.  Cushions: 6” cushions on forward and quarter berths.  There are good sized stowage areas under the v berth and lockers forward of the bunk and on the sides. 

Port Quarter.  There is a large quarter berth on port side behind chart table, very comfortable for a single adult or for two young children.  Cushions are 6” foam.

Saloon Port Side Dinette
 Saloon. Well lit with overhead hatch and four windows on sides of coach house.  I put in seaworthy windows of 0.5 inch acrylic of moderate size bolted to coach house. 
The dining table sits four comfortably and 2-3 can be seated on the portside berth.  The table can be lowered to convert the dinette to a double bunk. 



Saloon - Starboard Settee & Berth
Comfortable 4” foam cushions on bunks plus 4” foam backrests.   Cushion covers were custom made in quality furnishing fabrics (if not especially nautical in pattern) & sturdy canvas under. 
There are numerous lockers behind the settee backrests and above. 
Below the dinette and starboard berth are fuel tanks and the batteries, as well as an additional stowage area
