Accommodations
Below decks, headroom is 6 ft. 3 in. throughout, with slightly reduced clearance in the passageway to the aft cabin. The interior is exceptionally well-ventilated and naturally lit, with 14 opening portlights, three large overhead hatches, and two companionways.
Descending the main companionway, a large, functional navigation station is located to starboard, with a forward-facing chart table, storage below, and a cushioned seat with additional storage. To port is a full-sized U-shaped galley, ideally positioned adjacent to the cockpit and open to the main salon. The galley offers extensive counter space, two large storage cabinets with teak sliding doors, mounted spice racks, five drawers for utensils and general storage, and access to a dedicated dry storage locker.
Forward of the companionway is the main salon, featuring a U-shaped settee and a central dining table. The rich teak interior is complemented by white upper panels and overhead surfaces, creating a bright and open feel. The salon includes shelving and bookcases with louvered doors to port and starboard, opening portlights on both sides, an overhead hatch, and well-placed handholds throughout. The settee can serve as a single berth, while the dinette comfortably seats six and converts into a double berth. Storage is abundant beneath and behind the seating.
The forward stateroom is finished in teak and offers ensuite access to the head and shower, with a secondary entry from the main salon for “day head” use. The V-berth includes an insert to form a double berth. Storage includes under-berth compartments, shelving above the berth, multiple lockers with louvered doors, a large hanging locker to starboard, and additional drawers and storage to port. Natural light and ventilation are provided by an overhead hatch and two opening portlights. Access to the chain locker is also provided.
Aft of the main companionway, a passageway leads to the owner’s stateroom. This area includes a pilot berth, currently used for storage, and provides excellent access to the engine compartment through two removable sliding panels.
The private owner’s stateroom is located fully aft and features a queen-sized berth with a 6-inch mattress. The cabin includes a private head and shower with an opening portlight, as well as direct access to the cockpit via a dedicated companionway. Storage is extensive, with multiple lockers and a large three-door hanging locker. Ventilation and light are provided by an overhead hatch and four opening portlights.

Deck
The original teak decks have been professionally removed and refinished with durable non-skid, significantly reducing maintenance issues while improving safety underfoot. The hull-to-deck joint is fully through-bolted and bonded, capped with a solid teak rail for added strength and traditional styling.
At the bow, a single anchor roller is integrated into a stainless steel pulpit. Ground tackle is managed by a Lofrans horizontal windlass with foot-operated controls. Lifelines with stainless steel stanchions run the full length of the deck, connecting the bow pulpit to the aft rail system for secure movement underway.
The foredeck is spacious and uncluttered, transitioning into wide, easily navigable side decks and a clean coachroof layout, allowing safe access forward and aft.
The center cockpit is large, recessed, and well-protected, accessible from both side decks. High cockpit coamings provide security, and the cockpit is self-bailing with teak grating underfoot. The O-shaped seating comfortably accommodates up to eight people and can serve as a practical sleeping area for two during passages. A teak cockpit table with integrated drink holders adds functionality for entertaining. The cockpit is protected by a substantial dodger, and a large lazarette provides excellent storage capacity.
The vessel features both forward and aft companionways, each fitted with louvered boards for ventilation and security.
Aft, the deck offers a large open area suitable for working or relaxing. A robust stainless steel arch supports mounted solar panels, while a deck-mounted stainless steel davit system facilitates dinghy handling. Additional features include a rail-mounted barbecue and two rod holders. The coachroof aft of the cockpit carries the mainsail traveler and provides access to the private aft stateroom via the secondary companionway.
