DESCRIPTIONS
Accommodations & Layout
Starting below in the bow, you have the master stateroom with large v-berth. Custom berth mattresses sit atop some storage compartments below, and there is a hanging locker to starboard as you walk aft. Opening overhead hatch offers great natural light and ventilation.
Aft of the master stateroom is the large head with separate stall shower. The head has a vacuflush toilet, and offers pressurized hot and cold water throughout. Opposite the head is the main electrical distribution panel.
Stepping up a few steps brings you to the salon and galley. The large L-shaped galley is on the port side, and there is a L-shaped dinette opposite to starboard. Forward of the dinette seat is the Icom VHF radio, and the Fusion stereo system. Bilge access is amidships.
Moving aft through the salon door brings you past the two engine hatches which double as seats. The cockpit is huge for the size of the vessel, offering ample room for many different uses.
Access to the flybridge is up the ladder from the cockpit, and you have amazing sight lines at the helm. Forward of the helm is a large seating area, so you can enjoy cruising with friends and family together without missing the views!
