CABIN LAYOUT
There is a large main salon with upholstered settees and pilot berths on each side. The engine is located in the middle of the salon with a sound proofed engine box with access hatches and is covered by a tabletop. The Navigation station is located in the aft side of the salon to port. The galley is located to starboard. There is a CNG 3- burner stove with oven (new 2019). CNG is lighter than air and therefore much safer than propane. There is a deep sink and icebox. Going aft there are two aft cabins with a queen-sized bunk in addition to single bunk. There is storage, a port hole for ventilation and a hanging locker in each cabin. There is an enclosed head compartment forward to port. The Toilet is a fresh water VacuFlush, full size and there is a handheld shower. The main holding tank under the port salon sette and the secondary 6 gallon holding tank is forward in the forepeak. Forward holding tank is a ‘canister’ that can be
removed and emptied on shore similar to a port-a-potty without the need to organize a pump out and is very convenient for day sailing.
