Furthest forward is V-berth sleeping cabin with storage shelves aft of the berths and chests of drawers port and starboard. Additional storage is found in bin storage and drawers under the V-berth platform. The forward cabin is well lit by reading lams located at the heads of both berths. Additional natural light is provided by three fixed ports in the cabin sides and front and an opening hatch in the overhead.
Next aft is the passageway to the main cabin with head area to port and a large double hanging locker to starboard. A fixed port above the hanging locker provides natural light to the passageway while an opening port in the head area provides ventilation as well as natural light in this space with artificial light being provided by electrical lighting in the head area. Additional ventilation is provided by dorade vents above the passageway and head areas.
The main cabin is laid out for comfort both when sailing and at rest. There is a centerline drop leaf table with settees both port and starboard with pilot berths above and out board of the settees. The lower settees slide inboard to provide comfortable sleeping berths. There is plenty of storage in chests of drawers forward of the settees and other drawer storage below the pilot berths. The main cabin area is very well lit with reading lamps located at forward and aft end of settees dome lights in the overhead. Additional natural light is provided by small and large fixed ports in the cabin sides and an overhead hatch that opens for ventilation.
The aft area of the main cabin is mostly dedicated to being the galley area. There is a CNG fired, gimbaled, Force 10, 2-burner stove with oven to port, stainless steel sink basin aft and a large ice box to starboard. As usual there is plenty of storage space in drawers and lockers both outboard and under the galley counters and the counter above the ice box makes a great working space for navigation with full-sized charts.
