Saloon
Looking at the port side, the extra large dining table is completely folded. The settee slides out about 6 inches to make into a comfortable bed. The Large windows (behind the new curtains)make the main cabin light and comfortable. Ventilation is available from the large overhead hatch and companionway aided by three fans. On days when the hatches are closed, the entire boat is made confortable with the 16,000Btu AC unit.
With only the smaller port side of the table up, there is plenty of space for two and with our small stool, this configuration works for 4 and still leaves the hallway open. Notice that behind each cushion on the port and starboard side is a large storage cabinet. The stereo equipment is housed in one on the port side, the computer printer and laptop storage is in one on the starboard side.

The Galley
The U shaped galley is on the port side of the cabin near the steps. The Force 10 3 burner stove is propane with safety control valves on all burners and a temperature thermostat to keep the oven constant. There is a safety bar and a galley strap included. Both forward and aft counters have a large storage locker and both counters have large storage areas as well as a locker under the sink. Notice the two drawers at the end of the cabinet, they are long and deep. A secure locker is under the drawers with its original lock and key.
The large deep sink is perfect for passages where shallow bowls just don't have the space for cleanup. There is a watermaker discharge, sea and fresh water foot pump outlets, a filtered water faucet and a domestic hot and cold water faucet with sprayer. The four built in teak dish racks provide space for all you glassware without the fear of breakage. The cabinet overhead is perfect for tumblers as other light items. The propane control switch is in easy reach along with a 120v outlet. A three compartment drawer at the left of the photo is deep and a nice pan storage compartment is underneath
Notice the Formica Brand counter tops and the large cabinets under the drawer and under the sink. The custom Cutting Board and Stove cover has been removed for this picture. There is an amazing amount of storage in the galley area.

Nav Area
The navigation area features a 15" computer monitor for the Captain charting system and the Icom Single Side Band radio. The Garmin GPS is wired directly to the tower computer located in the large cabinet underneath with its outside, cockpit mounted antenna. The Furuno Navtex weather radio system also has a dedicated outside antenna. Also shown is the Pactor Modem for sending SSB internet email thru either Sailmail or Winlink. The VHF Radio is a Horizon that features a full control remote speaker and mike in the cockpit. Extra cable and remote are included.

Forward
As with most full time cruising boats, the "extra" head and bedroom become extra storage or double duty use. In our case, the forward head contains a double tub, South American washer. This wonderful machine is portable, requiring no instalation and can be moved to the deck in just a few minutes. the waterproof cover allows extended storage while company is on aboard. The washer will do a load of 4 kg and the spinner, seen on the right, will remove almost all water for a quick dry on the line. We use the water from the sink (hot and cold) and drain through the shower sump. This machine is ideal for a cruising boat because yo
