Accommodations
Forward is the owner's cabin with a centerline walkaround double berth with hanging locker to starboard, a built-in chest of drawers to port, storage below and lots of shelving. Aft and starboard is a head with privacy door to forward cabin and a second door to the passageway. The head is quite large and has a separate stall shower area. Across from the head to port is a double berth guest stateroom with hanging locker. Further aft to port is the down U-shaped galley which is open to the salon with a counter above at the salon level. Opposite to starboard is the navigation station.
There is a lot of light and ventilation throughout the lower level, including four opening ports in the owner's stateroom, two opening ports in the head, two opening ports in the guest cabin, and an opening port in both the galley and the navigation station. The sole is teak and holley and in good shape, and there is lots of wood paneling and decor throughout.
The main salon and helm are up three steps. The helm is to starboard and the large counter/table separating the galley and the salon opposite to port. The salon is extends aft to a forward facing settee against the bulkhead. The settee converts to a double berth and there is a large fold-out table which can extend out in front of the settee.
There are huge pilothouse windows on all sides, and there is even a 3 x 6 foot sliding sunroof overhead. The helm has a large upholstered seat, all controls and instrumentation for the engine, and a large foot-operated electric winch. Other features include dark blue carpeting, blue upholstery and lots of wood paneling and decor.
There is also factory-installed air conditioning (the boat was oringinally equipped for use on the Spanish Riveria) but it is inoperative and its condition is unknown. A recent survey (Feb 2001) is available.
