Starting from the bow there is a divided chain locker that drains above the waterline, aft of which is a large sail locker which also where the bow thruster resides. On the other side of the water tight bulked from the sail locker is the the master cabin with a center island double berth that easily lifts up creating a easily accessed large bulk storage area on the forward end of the berth along with four large drawers at the aft end. The forward cabin also features a vanity and additional hanging storage to port. The forward cabin has plenty of light and ventilation with a large opening hatch over the berth, 6 opening ports and two dorades.

Moving aft and up one step is the salon which has s large U-shaped settee to port with a high/low table that also folds in to allow easy access to the outboard storage areas. It can also be lowered to coffee table height or by adding the filler cushions you can transform the settee into a large double berth. There is a liquor locker outboard of the settee with a door that folds down to form a unique drink table. Both port and starboard settees make excellent sea berths.

Next comes the large nav station to starboard with a level nav desk that makes an excellent ships office. Across from nav station is the large U-shaped proper galley with lots of counter space and storage, which has proven to be a real joy to work in both offshore and at anchor. Aft of the galley is the aft cabin that has double berth and generous storage. The aft cabin has 3 opening ports and a over head hatch to provide good light and ventilation. Across from the aft cabin on the starboard side is the aft head which is at the base of the companionway and has one of the largest separate showers stalls you will find on any sailboat this size.

Aft of the head is one of the prize feature on an Outbound, the mechanics room, which allows you direct access to systems, provides storage for you tools and spares along with allowing you to stand up when you open the lazaret hatch and work at the workbench and provide light and ventilation into the mechanic room. Space has been prepped in the mechanics room for a washer/dryer unit should you want to have one aboard.
