The vessel can comfortable sleep 6 adults over the forward cabin and spacious saloon. There is full standing headroom throughout with plentiful storage space for long range cruising. Being a steel boat she has plenty of insulation which minimises condensation. Her interior woodwork is a combination of solid teak pieces and veneered marine ply.

The galley is to starboard and features a gas fuelled Bainbridge Neptune 4500 with 2-burner hob, oven and grill. Stainless steel double sink with both pressurised and hand pumped fresh water. Lots of storage solutions for both provisions and utensils/crockery.
Opposite the galley is a large chart table/Navigation area. This is forward facing and situated at the end of a large pilkot berth.
One step down from here is the saloon. Large U-shaped seating area to starboard with dining table. This drops down to make a very comfortable double berth. Behind this is shelved storage currently used for sailing/navigation books.
Opposite the seating area on the port side is a small 2-seater settee with a raised pilot/quarter berth above. This will be the bunk of choice as it is adjacent to the solid fuel Shipmate stove. The chimney exits at deck level. 

Between the saloon and the forward cabin is a corridor. To starboard is the heads with blakes baby marine head, sink with pressurised fresh water and shower with pump out. All the taps, water pipes, plumbing hoses were replaced when the new holding tank was installed. The heads also makes an ideal wet locker for storing and drying wet weather gear after a demanding passage.
Opposite the heads is a large storage cupboard/wardrobe with storage area above. In the bow is the forepeak cabin which can be converted to a double by the addition of an infill cushion. There is further shelved and locker storage. Below bunk storage with easy front access.

The yacht was built by Croft marine Productions in partnership with Robert Tucker Designs. This was the brainchild of Tony Tucker, son of the famous Robert Tucker who brought us many designs but notably the Corribee, Silhouette and Newbridge Navigator.  

Built in 4mm high tensile steel she has a round bilge hull shape, flush decks and a very comfortable cockpit with teak topped inner coamings and removable teak seating boards.
The underwater profile is a traditional full keel with shallow forefoot. The steel has been coated with layers of epoxy and finally copper coat. There is a steel grated bowsprit with built in double anchor rollers and a self bailing open anchor well forward. Around the decks is a 3 inch scupper with drainage. Solid teak rubrail set off from the hull for added protection. Topsides are currently painted in a smart navy blue whilst the decks are an attractive cream.

Stainless steel bow and stern rails joined by a series of stainless steel stanchions with double set of uncoated wires. There are numerous deck hatches which along with the coacroof saloon windows have all been removed and resealed. Teak handrails mounted either side of coachroof for safety.
