Work Areas & Stowage

Galley.  The galley is at the foot of the companionway stairs on the starboard side opposite the chart table.  There are manual and pressure water taps above a single stainless sink, an ice box with 4” foam insulation and two burner stainless kerosene stove with oven.  Ample stowage in numerous lockers.  Counter tops are laminex.
Chart Table.  A good sized chart table is opposite the galley and can be utilized by the cook as an extra bench top when preparing meals.  A hinged lifting lid allows easy access to the stowage area below.  Below the chart table are four self-latching voluminous drawers.
Roomy Hanging Lockers
Head.  There is a single head cabin aft of the forward v berths to port with a door to give privacy.  An opening aluminium hatch above allows for good ventilation.  Toilet – manual, and a spare electric macerator.  A sink and pressure water system is also installed, plus lockers for stowage. 
The water tap is also a flexible shower head with a hose that stows out of site below the sink.  No shower or electric hot water (which meant the best time for sailing was summer!).
Stowage: Up forward, opposite the head on the starboard side, are three lockers plus two hanging lockers allowing separation of wet and dry clothes.  Numerous lockers in saloon and four opening drawers below chart table. 
The starboard quarter is a stowage area for sails, lines, etc as well as providing excellent access to engine room.
